    is it dumb to use tail light tint stickers, that you just peel onto the light?

    Use black spray paint instead for the full gangsta' effect.

    Get the vinyl ones if you go for it. They are not bad to do, and they come off pretty clean. There is also a flex coating made for tailight tint that might be easier to see if you like the look.

    Rustolium peel coat tint I think.

    Also check the local laws on such things.... it flies around hear, but no inspections for cars in my state.

    Tail light tint is very dangerous in my opinion. I'm all for the blacked out look, but I'd fork over the money for painted housings. In most cases, the tint will block out 75-90% of the light output. This creates a dangerous scenario if fellow drivers can't tell that you're braking. Furthermore, if you get rear ended, the agents will take note on these things which could easily place you at fault.

    I think the tin on the tail lights would prevent the aliens from stealing the mesojdm technology embedded inside...:alien::alien::alien::alien::sawzall::sawzall:

    I've used lamin - x tint on vehicles when I was younger and liked the look of it. I was always worried though that I would get rear ended and the person would say they didn't see my lights. We all know this would be bullshit, but a lawyer could def. use that.
