Blackouts

poormillionaire2 · #1 02-04-2005, 12:27 PM

Looking to get blackouts for my headlights and taillights from www.lmperformance.com and they sell to brands GT Styling and RK Sport. Is one better than the other or are they just the same? They should look the same, but is there a difference between them?

they're probably both the same thing.. I have them for my HL's and TL's but I kept gettin' pulled over so I pulled em' off

Just curious, what law were you breaking with them on? Shit, I don't want to waste my money to have police problems.

im not sure about the technicalities.. if you give me a minute i'll try find one of my many auto/law pamphlets they gave me

edit: cant find em'.. But here its illegal to cover any lights with any tinted material.. You can only use clears..

You might want to phone the local PD and inquire about it.. laws change quite a bit from area to area

Thanks for looking and thanks for the heads-up. I'll be sure to look into it.

you gotta check your local jurisdiction cause thats not a federal law, it varies from state to state.

i was gonna get rear blackouts for my z but was afraid someone would steal them.i found something better its called vht nightshades .its in a can like spraypaint and works great.in the daylight it looks like totally black taillights that are stock but the brakelights shine through perfect.now i dont have to worry about anybody staling them. look into that product

I got them but they are AVS and cops never really give me shit. U cant see at night thats for sure so dont make long trips at night with them on. I got min from autozone.

A longshot I know, but does anyone know if there are any issues with these blackouts in the UK? I want to get some for my 87's rear lights cos they look sweet!

no idea.. im Michigan its illegal to drive with headlight blackouts at night.. fine during the day, but not at night.. taillight blackouts however are legal at any time.. go figure.

I've thought about headlight blackouts to smoothe the look of my car...

can someone photoshop it with a black out and blackouts?? [/potential badass]

Was it hard to use the spraypaint?

Don't shoot me for bringing up this topic, it's not THAT old.

I just wanted to show 97 these pics http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...ist=200#vdptop

Answer your question? Black car + blackouts = SWEET.
