Default Modified the overlays on my tail lights

Since I got a ticket for illegally tinted tail lights, I decided to do something about it. My brother actually did all the work, but I had the idea, lol. I think they look pretty cool, and hopefully it takes care of the concern the "cop in a purple Camaro" had.

The cop also checked my windows and his meter showed 28% on the front windows. No ticket, just a warning. Not sure I'll change the tint, at least for now.

And now for the pics of the tails:



Lights off






Lights on





I'll try to get better pics tomorrow.

My brother used a razorblade and cut out a circular portion of the overlay so the brakelights aren't tinted. The officer said the tint dims the light output.

couple more pics with the lights off:

Looks great. Better, I think, than all smoked.
