tail lights

[2004rnr]

alright 4runner owners out there. i need some input. i just got my rear lights tinted. they're a little darker than i wanted, so i'm not sure if i like them. your honest opinions would help ease my mind. any ideas also.

Personaly, i dont think it looks to good. If it was lighter, like how the VW tail lights are, that would look sweet. Did you use window tint?

 

[LukeSKY]

It looks cool........and sweet.....but


If you get rear-ended, you may be liable for the accident.

Also you might get a ticket; the law requires that you have visible red reflectors that can also reflect a red light up to 300 ft.



Good luck!

I like it personally! I just ordered my 06 tail lights... those are sweeeet.

I like how the spoiler and bumper lights came out, but I do I think the body lights are a little to dark. Doesn't look awful, but could be a little lighter in my opinion.

i like how yours came out . want to trade. i wished they would have done it lighter like yours. they said it would lighten up a little eventually. do you know if i can lighten them, or is it too late? here's a pic of my tails in the sun.

I think they are too dark. It will be better if they were smoked, but not black. Just my 2c.

i asked them to paint it medium dark. they have darker one, but it's too dark for me.

now i want to find out how much to paint the spoiler brake

i don't think you can lighten them. unless they can take off the paint and repaint it again, but it's gonna be too much

I think the lights look sweet. They're not too dark imo.

I think they look neat, but I also don't think they are very practical. I've seen too many times in traffic where someone has real dark tail lights or those covers on them and during the day you can't even see their signals or even brake lights. Very dangerous!

Ditto.

 

[2004rnr]

that's because those are the black out covers. hince the phrase black out. these were tinted, and are still very visible when driving at night and during the day when i brake or signal. i'll post some pics of daytime with the signal and brakes.

I like them, looks good with the color of your Runner, but Cops will give you a ticket for sure. Espeically if they just want to pull you over for something, you just gave them a reason.

Plus I think somone else mentioned it, ifyou get rear ended, they could use that against you in court.

Laws suck
