Yours looks good but i would just not black out the reverse bulbs. But this wat im looking to do. How much did you pay to do yours?

at night you can see the lights very clear and reverse as well.. my tailights are not too dark and not too light, they are tinted just enough so you can still see a bit of the redish lense. when in reverse it looks white still.
i paid 75 bucks and i send him alot of jobs.
