    So i've decided on getting some of FLIP's tinted tail lights. However i'm not sure how dark to get them. I don't want to get rear ended in broad daylight and i don't want trouble with cops (which makes dark out of the question). I'm unsure between light and medium and was wondering what you guys thought. If it helps at all i have a 97 white gp with 20% tint on my windows which makes me think that light tint will be fine because it will "pop" with the white paint.

    thanks

    Without Sun:


    I did mine with 3 coats of VHT i believe i really do not get messed with by the cops and the lights aren't to hard to see in the day, unless the sun hits them just right


    I rate mine medium

    Any tint on your tails will attract cops, if that's seriously a concern, don't have them tinted.

    If cops don't matter, go medium to dark.

    Go medium. I have mine medium on my black 04. In dim light/at night, they blend in with the car but still allow plenty of light. In sunlight, you can still see red and they still allow plenty of light.
