I say no tint as well, dont think it would flow with the color scheme of your car. I love your car top to bottom, I'd leave it alone or go red/clear leds like has been mentioned.

Is that a HOK Kandy paint? Where in AL are you located? To answer you questions, heck no! Don't tint the lights.

That is part of having a car with sponsors. I would hardly call it "classless" may not improve the overall look of the car but then again their products do that, so its the least that someone can do for a company.

I've also contemplated doing this - it's what happens when you've done everything else and still have the modding bug. I decided to keep mine red/clear because i love how the red looks with the blue paint and how the clear portion on the taillights matches the Supra third brake light.

If anything, maybe a light smoke at the bottom, just to diminish the amber part a little - but a light or medium tint should do it. In Cali, the only people really smoking their lights anymore are people driving otherwise stock Nissan Altimas or Persian dudes driving used BMWs. And an occasional soccer-mom Chevy Tahoe that probably had faded stock tails anyway.

Less is more, brother!


Your car looks great, as always!
