Re: Detailed smoked out taillights DIY w/ pictures

If it's illegal to have smoked brakelights, i wonder if you have your wing light as your brake light if it'd still be illegal.

Re: Detailed smoked out taillights DIY w/ pictures

yeah, you need minimum of two brake lights that meet photometric requirements. the middle one is extra and technically not required, altho it helps distinguish to other cars that the brakes are being used more than just having two side lights.

Thumbs up Re: Detailed smoked out taillights DIY w/ pictures

Here is pictures of my car. I didn't bother removing the tail lights. I just tapped off the back end of my car. I did three coats of the tint and two coats of the clear coat.

Here is the final product.



The reason why I tapped it all off is because I didn't have a small enough screw driver to take the screws off behind the wheel.
