GI.SS Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 im debating whether or not to tint my tail lights and 3rd brake light. help me make the right choice. Plans are an ISS spoiler and possibly a bser pan and hidden hitch if i find a deal. signature pic should pretty much explain how my truck looks...

The_aSSet Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Ive grown out of liking tinted tails, I like the stock lights. But it would look good either way imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jddmj Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 I have grown to like the 05-06 tails myself. But Its all in the looks. Myself, my truck is murdered for the most part. So I have tinted. Its all about the look you are after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MARTYW Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 (edited) He did mine as well. Does an incredible job. Only thing I will mention is if you tent the entire lens, your backup lights are worthless with stock bulbs. I have mine totally smoked, and 5% tint on my windows, and there is no visibility at night. I roll my windows down to back up, but there is very little light out of the tails. I say go for it, just keep this in mind. Love mine and I would definitely send the to Danny.

arod6692 Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 I did mine and i think the smoked out look is sick but thats just me. Its also easy to do yourself as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powell Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Here is a pic of mine. I had my Colorado tails pretty dark and then a couple coats over the reverse lights. on the SS I did 3 coats of nightshade on the tails and 1 over the reverse lights and then about 10 coats of clear, wet sanding between most of the clear coats. I feel like the slight tint on the reverse lights ties in with the silver SS badges and wheels. I wasn't sure about them at first but i'm glad i did them this way. Either way i don't think you can go wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But backing up in the dark can be sketchy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoney23 Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Thats why i love that nightshade. You can get a couple different looks by how many coats of it you put on. You can lighty smoke them or totally blacked out.... Either way taillights will always look better tinted. IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
