hmm, you asked for opinions on some new tails...


what i think would look good, and it would match your black/red theme you got going (since the windows are really dark), is take the stock taillights and tint them with some VHT Niteshades (it's a spray (removable with sandpaper)... don't use the vinyl overlays) and get some Luxeon 1156 (I think that's the number) LED bulbs from superbrightleds.com to brighten the lights so they penetrate the dark tint. The Luxeon bulbs are $35 a piece (you need 2), but they're really bright and good quality. I used red. Without the brighter bulbs it's not very safe to drive with the tinted tails.

Thanks. i will look into that. alot of ppl were telling me to just spray the ones i have now. but i like the stock look better.. idk if i will spray them or not.. but your right it might look really good. as for the brighter bulbs. i have hid in the tails and the L's plate light already!

You don't have HID's in your taillights. You might have bulbs that say "HID" on the package, referring to the HID-like color of the bulb's light.
But yea, those bulbs still aren't bright enough. You really gotta go with LEDs if you tint the tails dark at all.

You're right, it's not hard. I think he was referring to finding it locally in stores. It's not that easy to find locally. I recommend just buying online. It costs a little more because of shipping, but it's worth it, because it's much easier to find.

One can will be enough.
