Generally speaking our Smoked Taillight kits do not look significantly dimmer at night, no matter which of the three shades are installed.

At least you can peel them off if push comes to shove, something you can't do if you paint them.

Tail lights that are tinted via paint CAN be removed. I've done this numerous times and made a whole thread about it.

no doubt i chose a more abrasive and less expensive rag for tint removal.. lol i was ruining to many nice micro fibers that way til i decided why use micro fiber if ima polish em up any ways lol.. but plastiX ftw

also can easily be sanded of with the d/a some windex and some 800 grit then re clearcoated and polished as u would tinted ones
