If I paint my tailights is the light visibility affected? or would it be better to tint them

 

I have mine tinted, from what i've seen in person, painted looks much better if you want a solid black taillight, go for tint if you want that smoke look

My friend has his xb with solid black tails and the visibility is actually better than my dark smoke tinted xa, I want to paint mine soon

 

Yea from what ive heard the painting is a much better way to go and if it doesnt affect visibility thats a plus
