Smoked Rear Lights ?

[M20FES]

Iam going for the stealth look and only thing thats standing in its way are the rear lights.

Ive already smoked the white parts of the lights out, but now thinking a full tint would look best, but iam really not sure as i think it can look abit "chavy shite" and will also face the mot\reflectors\police issues of full tints but there really arnt great alternative lights available that arnt self tinted. here are a few pics.

opinions please

Mine in its current form with the rear lights

A few random pics of some darker rears (Sorry if ive used your car)

always thought really dark tints would look good. what you could do is buy a second set of lights and tint them as much as you want, come MOT time swap them to the standard ones

ive done flyeyes on my headlights and they look great, but i think they would still show too much red on the rears.

i had flye eyes on the rears they looked good but were hard to clean between each hole if i got wax or polish in them. You can get solid tint sheet that looks good, even up close.

I find the E-tech tint spray gives good results and is easy to work with. maybe just get a second set of rear lights and experiment with different things to find a balance between looking OEM and OTT

try just spraying the red bits leave the whites white if you get me. that looks good

Lamin-x film.

I reckon keep yours as they are but lightly spray the rest off them as the red dosent need as many coats as indicators & reverse lights

wanted them abit like this. Thats how oem smoked lights tend to look...sort of grey

Why not get the SPi stuff on them?

ebay link (see the vid, looks pretty decent):

Its like the flyeye stuff but apparently "better" - although that could just be advertising

I think the really dark tints looks cool defiantly do that IMO

Like fly eyes, too much red will still show through it, would work well on clear items like headlights.

So you are looking for totally black basically?
