1x can of lens tint...

$25...

Illegal as hell... prepare to be pulled up and fined on a weekly basis...

I only did mine as my baby doesnt see the light of day that often...

u serious ??? damn... what if it was just a light tint... not that dark ?cos i reckon all the colours (red, orange and white) on the tail light look ugly together.... and i wouldnt get black tint anyway as my car is blue... so would prob go with a silvery... maybe ?

Ahh... u cant tint different colours...

Any tint at all is illegal... any modifications to your taillights are illegal..

unless ADR certified, etc etc...

your prob thinking of a plastic sticker that masks some of the tail light....

talk to sammi... she has some..

as long as the reflectors are visible in day light (which means everything else will be too), u should be fine, and even if u do get pulled over u should be able to talk your way out of it.

alternatively u can either live with the stock ones or spend $1k+ and get some after market ones lol

sammi's didnt look bad, but then again i dont think it'll work unless your car is black.

and sam, u sure u cant get coloured tint?

i think i have seen coloured tint on the UK site.... wouldnt be that hard if u can get just black... and yeah... seems like a good idea... but unfortunately my priority now is my headlights.... until i fix them i wont be doing much else

may be able to get coloured tint... but remember, it has to be lens tint... and usually only find black..

if you leave the reflector visable as yang said, you may be able to talk your way out of it...

Technically you cant alter them whatsoever... mainly because of the reflector. but other reasons too...

and will only be a defect notice and they tell u to strip them back to original. in qld that means $75 and 1 point per defect...

and just $75 in nsw...

still but ... a fines a fine... and $75 out of pocket means $75 less to spend on FTO
