Hey everyone,

There is many threads on 'tinting rear lights' with nightshade from Autobarn and legal issues etc.

I believe this question is a bit different so i made a new thread.

I was wondering if I were to tint the rear lights, but use tape to cover up parts I won't spray and possibley make the original lights look like different lights? This way I can make sure that most of the lights shines through naturally, would it still be illegal (in the way it'd get defected, not if insurance will cover damage)? Any thoughts on what i could tint on the lights and make it looker different than original lights?

cheers

Matt

hey man ,

do you mean like stripes? because yeah straight tinting is illegal as i have encountered a problem with the police due to tinted tail lights.

but i think stripes or checkers or whatever you are doing is a sweet idea. take your time with tinting them and make sure you clean the surface with isoproyl or some kind of strong alcohol first!

hope this helps :)

I had tinted tail lights and didnt have any problems with police. Mine were tinted with film though (looked way better than crappy nightshades)

I've know quite a few people with tinted tail lights who tinted it with Nightshade, they've never had problems with the coppers.
