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.

Rep Power: 282 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.

Rep Power: 787 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.

Rep Power: 0 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.

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.

Rep Power: 787 stock is brighter because the bulb is not coated. Those coatings reduce light output to change the color temp.

Rep Power: 787 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.
