...'blacking out' my rear lights and headlights.. what do you think, would it make it look tacky?.. my garage has pix, i've got my windows tintd all around and an eyebrow.. :jehon: Any thoughts?

 

[Antonious]

i don't think it would look good with ebp, or any other color, i only like it on black

nah man i wouldnt 'black' out your tail lights. it looks too tacky. and in some states its illegal. its something that has to do with the visible light comming from the lights and they have ways to measure it if its too low they can give you a ticket. id recomend doing something like i did to my tail lights. check out my sig or my garage. or at least give the whole tail light a slight grey tint.. but dont do the headlights. maybe the front turn signals and the side marker lights too but deffinetly NOT the headlights

what did you use for the grey tint?.. materials?

The rear? Don't mess with perfection.

The front? Just get a retrofit and paint the small area of trim inside the lamp.

IMO blacking out lights is stupid. You should want your lights to be brighter if anything, especially your brake lights!
Bright brake lights decrease your chance of getting rear ended by half. Brake lights that are not as bright as stock because they are blacked out probably at least doubles your chances of being rearended at an intersection.

Safety?

Yea, I guess that's important too.

all i used was a spray called vht nightshade. if you want to do it let me know il show you the writeup i did on how to do it. but i agree on not doing the break lights. thats pretty much why i didnt do my break lights.. just the bottom part.

blacking out tails on a car any color but black is odd...

and unless by blacking out the headlights you mean removable covers...

im gonna have to say not only is it a bad idea but it will prolly get you pulled over.

 

[built2shred]

If you wanted to black out your headlights, I would get a shop like www.clearcorners.com to paint them properly..

 

[LUDEacris]

here ya go here is the writeup. it tells you all the little things you need too like tape, large piece of cardbord etc etc.... i tried to go into as much detail as i could but if i left something out or you have any questions dont hesitate to PM me.... but do it quick im leaving the country in 5 days.
