I think that it all depends on the color of the car too.... Personally, I think it would look good on my RS 1.0, because the tails are completely red as is and it just seems like too much... I like them on the FM and BSP, but I'm not sure about the other colors...

Wow. That's really dark. I like it and would do the same, but I'd be too paranoid when driving around.

Default tyc overlays

where did u get the red overlays done? how much? i think the tyc's look hideous, but the red overlays give it a nice touch to it. looks good at night too.

VHT Nightshade.

Ordered myself a can a few days ago from ebay for like $15 shipped, and am going to follow KingOfSka's directions. Should look pimpalicious on my FM tC hopefully.

Speaking of, how many coats did you use to black them out THAT much?

I always thought tC taillight housings are too big. The thing that bugs me most is the tail lights mounted to high on the rear body. Don't really like how the top taillights ajoin to the rear qtr panals at the top corners. But when they are blacked out, it looks alot better and is a big improvement of the rear. Especially on black cars. This all black tC sort of brings out the Knight Rider theme.

I'm waitin on the '08 tC headlights an taillights to come out so I can get a set for my '07 CSM. Blacked out tails on the inside with 3 circular red bulbs. The headlights have projectors so get HID's and your set for a great lookin tC IMO. Thing is gotta wait till august to get'em.

The day I run into the back of one of those blacked-out tails is the day I limp out of my car and kill someone.
I'm not kidding.
It may look cool, but some of those damn things are too dark at night, and freakin' unsafe.
I'm sure if a Chippy came up behind those, a ticket would follow.

Fine for show cars, but not too cool on the street, IMHO.

Ive been considering swapping out the rear tail lights with these

black housing, dechromed, led
http://www.kgsengineering.com/specd-...k-p-16582.html

or these
smoked leds
http://www.kgsengineering.com/specd-...e-p-16585.html

im favoring the regular non smoked black tail lights.
but cant seem to find any impressions of them on these forums.

anyone try these yet?

would these be considered street legal?

I really dont like the stock red lights, because everyone and their grandma has them on their tc.
