OP...just a little food for thought on tinting tail lights...If you're rear ended and person that hit you claims that they did not see your brake lights. Their insurance company will decline the claim. And so will yours. So if your car isnt paid off, you may want to think about it.
They say that its not sufficient enough. You can actually get denied if your third brake light is tinted and your others arent. Thats why they tint around the third brake light.God bless the man who put a third brake light in these cars.... 3rd brake light = no tint....
I would fight that stuff all day long.. They sell smoked tail lights that are DOT approved... I would take that **** to court...Not that it matters to me anyway.. I am all paid off....
