You can tint the reverse lights too, just make sure that when you are in reverse they light up well.

ive been pulled over with "blacked out" tails on my dropped hardbody... so it might also depend on the cop

that was probably because the red reflector wasn't visible. They will get you for that. Reason why all clears are illegal. When headlights hit that reflector it looks like the person is in reverse.

But yah, it really is highly dependant on the cop too. Some are nicer than others will just let you off.

so if you tint the tails you have to pull the pieces apart and put the tint on teh inside, but if you want to smoke them, you have to do that on the outside?

If you're going to use less coats for a lighter look, be carefull. Make sure each coat is even.
