I've browsed the forum and kind of have an idea on peoples thoughts of these tail lights lol, but I haven't actually seen anyone with them. I knew from the get-go that the chrome housing was going to be ugly. I decided to use VHT Nightshades and tint them. Here's how it turned out ...

Fresh out the box:




They feel/look to be decent quality...


I know this picture is horrible, but I didn't want to wait for a day picture Here they are on the car as is...

It was my first time tinting tails, I think it turned out nice. LEDs are bright even with the tint - I personally like the 08-10 tail light design so it was interesting to see them in an OEM style configuration from Eagle Eyes.

 

Tinted they look alright

 

I'm not digging them at all!!

 

If you like it bro then that is all that matters. I HATE the stock look of them, but I suppose tinted they look more acceptable. Maybe better quality pictures or video would make deciding easier for me.

 

I posted some better pictures... I wish my smoked 3rd brake light from VRD didn't break, had to put the stock one back on a few weeks ago. Otherwise, to each his own I guess lol. I have my old LED tail lights I will be taking apart and re-working to have a 2nd set.

 

sweet man i like the all black!

 

Looks good tinted

They look terrible at first, but then you went and redeemed yourself when you tinted them! Looks great now!

 

Super awesome radical, bro!
I admit, they do look 100x better tinted. Otherwise I'd pass on that.

 

+1 I love how they look on the car! Nice Job!

 

i think they would of looked better if red vinyl or red tint was done instead.
