Thanks! I like the blacked out look too of smoking all of the tail lights, but for me, I just wanted to keep it a stock look, with a little change. The other part I was concerned about it having my brake light portion being darker than normal and possibly someone not seeing me hit the brakes as easy. Just wondering how you find the light from the back of the lights now that they are tinted? I've seen some pretty dark ones on here. Wondering if that's a problem at night with brake light visibility.
