You'll get defected if they are too dark to visibly distinguish between the colours of the different lights (orange indicator, white reverse, red brake)

Just a question: Why would anyone want their tail lights tinted?? Am I missing something??

You'll get defected if you have any type if tint/paint on your light it doesn't matter if you can tell the diffrent between the colours or not

I havent been defected yet and i have had mine done for 12months and mine are fairly dark

Thats not the case.

You'll get done if its too dark, i think its 200m on a clear day dont quite me on that, visability.

If its black as, expect a note, if its still clealy visable then i dont see why it would be an issue... up to the cop though.

It is 100% illegal to tint a reflecter though so mask it up.

aZk.

I cant see how it is legal when the lights are there for safety and i think any modification that involes making them darker is illegal but i havent seen a law that says you cant

The night shade can says:'for off-road use only' so I spose thats a fair indicator there illegal. But mine were faded as hell so I thought I would just tint them and put colours bulbs in lol.

Thats what i did mine where faded aswell, but after awhile aswell with night shapeds they fade aswell so its not as dark, i have been defected for tinted lights before, only because i was sitting at the lights at night time, with lights on but no foot on break so it wasnt as bright and the cop thought i had my foot on the break :P, its manual btw.
