u should be fine, go spent 25-30$ and get LED bulbs for your tailights/brake lights I had my 1g tails tinted out atleast that dark if not darker ( 4 coats of night shades ) they were like black. at night time they were fine but during the day hard to see ... LED bulbs help a little.

definately looks good!

But following something like that with the sun coming from behind the car, its really hard to see the brake lights.  If someone rear ends ya, you might have some 'splainin to do.

That looks great, I love that stuff...

If your worried about light, just go on ebay and pick up some of those LED bulbs, the good ones are about $20 a set, well worth it

I'd be careful, if you ever get rear ended, it's just the easiest way for ICBC to bend you over. Buddy of mine runs a body shop and he cussed me out hard when I told him I planned to do mine.

Yea I think they're gunna come off until I find some decent led's. Though i do still have a high center light, so there is no reason why someone behind me couldnt see me. The worst part of these is my reverse lights are really dimmed down, which i can't stand. Looks cool but needs some improvement before they can stay on.
