Thank you. I really appreciate it. I love the way they came out. It was a lengthy process but worth it. I think I did about 5 light coats of Night Shades. It still has a slight red hue to it but still looks dark. I think it was a nice balance. They're still plenty bright during the day. Doing this is an option but a layer of film is also an option. If someone doesn't like the tinted look with the film, it would be easier to remove than what I've done.

While I would not do it, it does look good but it does leave the door wide open to liability or local vehicle code issues. In most places it is illegal but then again, you will see many folks driving around with things they should not have and take their chances. I would argue that if you have them blacked out and you get rear-ended, it will most likely be determined to be your fault as the other driver will just say they could not clearly see the light. As the comments center on "TheProcess" who appears to be located in Louisiana, their laws are a bit different. While most states use the regulation that the light must be CLEARLY visible from a distance of 500 feet, Louisiana (Title 32-RS 32:304) stipulate that the tail light "shall emit a red light plainly visible from a distance of one thousand feet to the rear" so that makes it a bit more difficult to overcome. Anyway, your truck, your choice and feel free to do whatever you like. Just be aware of the consequences/liabilities should something happen as not all tint is the same and DOT approved tint on tail lights is usually much lighter than most folks who do this type of mod are willing to accept.
