i dont get it? how do you see at night. I notice you have tint in the back. I have limo tint in the back and i can barely see with my stock reverse lights. I had to put some xenon reverse lights just so i can see when i'm in reverse.

It looks ok, but i dont think its a great idea, safety wise.

its done cleanly, However, i would never do that.... looks good with out that IMHO.

as for isuzu5000 "i've been tryin' to find out where i can get those yellow ones for the headlights. should i do yellow or smoke?"

If you want Yellow, go in the Marketplace thread, there is someone selling them but dont smoke em.

It sounds like a good idea, but the tint is way too dark to the point of being ricey. I think with a partial tint is would blend better. Then again, the 01 tails look alot cleaner than those imo.

take it off man, i think if you have JDM clear strip then tint clear strip black, it would look million times better. but if u are just simply tinting that small reverse light, not good. IMO.

I think you should try tinting it not blacking out. Then take it off if it doesn't work.

wouldn't xenon (not true HID) bulbs actually hinder performance? i'm pretty sure yellow > blue...

xenon as in white light (4300k). Yes i would lose lumens but i would get more luminace. I dont need the light to travel that far, just make everything brighter. In this case then, the xenons are better because they make everything brighter over stock.

stock is brighter because the bulb is not coated. Those coatings reduce light output to change the color temp.

Definition of the difference between lumens and luminance. I already said the lightout put is lower then stock because of the lose of lumens. I said it was ok because you get more luminance because of the higher color range, which is fine for reverse lights, since you want the light from your reverse lights to make the area around your car brighter so you can see how far you can go not travel further especially if your back windows are tinted.

I've done that too. When you run out of real mods to do, you start doing ricey ones. Don't worry, you'll realize and change it.
