Default To tint or not to tint?
I have been going back and forth about tinting my tail lights. What are your opinions about how it will look on my car? Tint or not?

hmmmm years ago it would have been no question and i would have said tint. But now i'm not think i would like it so much.

Only thing i will say for sure is if you do get them tinted i would not go really dark. you know more of a smoke gray kind of thing. just my .02

I bought these LED smoke lights from K2motor off ebay, they should be here tomorrow, ugh I can't wait!! $216 for all four lights, not bad IMO

Know of two other people that have bought from this seller and everything was A-ok

No tint. Personally, I love the look of the 01-05 tails.

I am shocked I honestly thought it would be closer to 50/50 with the responses. Thanks to those who have given their opinions so far.

Tinting would be like drawing eyebrows on the Mona Lisa
