Taillight Blackout
 
Hey im wanting to blackout my taillights but leave the area around the reverse lights white. Any input on how i should get it done?Tint, Painted by a body shop, or VHT niteshade them myself?im pretty good at VHT niteshading(ive done about 3-4 sets of lights)but if its not too expensive id rather let the pros do it...Help me out, Thanks!

I would just painters tape over the entire light, then exacto knife the area you want left then pull off the rest.

Does anyone know how to remove the tail light assembles?

+1 on the Bluebat overlays. I have some on order...GTR tails is what he calls them. I should have them installed in the next couple weeks when I do my tint.

Here is his link Pictures by BlueBatmobile2005 - Photobucket

Follow like the first two steps of this. Its a pain. I wanted to install stealth bulbs but I don't know when I'll find the time to remove all this crap just to do a simple bulb replacement.

In Ga the law states as long as the officer can see your lights 350 feet away under all conditions you won't get a ticket.

I'm sure where you live it's much the same,my lights look dark but with the LED's in them they are very bright and can be easily seen,try some different shades with yours are you will see what I mean.

the pictures make them look darker than they really are in person.

oh nice, yeah its def diff with the lights on I know that, but cops have messed with me and my tails aren't even as close to being as dark as yours. I was just thinking with that hue of darkness in my area it would be a issue if I got pulled over, in other words I wouldn't be able to get away with a warning. :rolleyes:
