Is the product called night highlights? night lights or something similar? That blackens the lights.
Would never do it.

You can pick up a can of that spray for $18 at autobarn and d.i.y and he's asking $150. Tell him he's dreamin'.

Yeah, it voids ADR requirements on how bright the lights originally were. You cannot tint any lights on your car, except internal, Hell, you can't even remove a high mount brake light if it came from the factory like that, so if you have a wing with a brake light in it, you can't remove it, or you can get defected.
I usually dislike tinited tail lights, but those look really neat...

I believe so.... but don't hold me to it.
To my understanding, alot of ppl used to change their side indi's to clear lights with an orange bulb, and to my understading, it was illegal... but thats a tad off track... tints are illegal.

Depends on what they are like over there. I know over here and especially where I am they hate them and righly so. Yes they may look good but do you really want to be involved in an accident because someone couldn't see your brake lights? As for the side indicators I don't really see how that would be unsafe, if someone wants to point it out feel free.

its not illegal at all to change your side repeaters to clear providing you put an orange globe in them.
IMO tinted lights look cheap and nasty, they make the car look very old and dirty. And god knows who'd pay that much for them.. eww |
