hello fellow malibuer's, i just wanted to see of anyone has done tinted taillights? looking to get my tail-lights done sometime soon.

To my best knowledge you just spray paint them, and eventually it'll be gone. So it's more like a temporary thing (but for a good amount of time). It looks good in my opinion.

I like mine the way they are ;)

Actually there is a special paint you buy to do this with, sorry can't remember the name (members on a GP club I belong to do it a lot).

It last quite a long time, and it is a dark colour....Only problem I have noticed is it really has a negative effective on the brightness of the tail lights, and from what some have said the police are not too keen on them either.

You should be able to pick up the kit at most auto parts stores....I think it is called night shades but not 100% sure.

Let us know if you decide to do it.

im leaning towards a film type tint, dont want to spray anything on the lense as it might cause harm to the lense with the high heat here in texas.

to add note, i have emailed several vendors from other sites i frequently visit. i will let you guys know if i get any word.

putting tine on the tail lights seems like a really bad idea.

Imagine you are in a heavy fog going slow and one of these big guys is moving up on you quickly...... The darkened light will reduce your visibility.

I actually got mine done today, as a matter of fact, and i was going to come post the pic... glad to see theres others with the same curiosity

It cost me $50 and it took about 2 hours.. i love the way it looks:

You actually can hardly tell theyre tinted at night. you can tell more when the reverse lights are on, but the red shines bright through the tint. i was at work and started my car and upon glancing at my car from the store, i briefly forgot that i got them tinted because it really doesnt make a huge difference

Scapegoat did you spray them or use the film? Looks nice.

wow, those look great! cant wait to get mine done, just ordered a vinyl film.

haha no, i dont remember what % it is, but its not that dark. the angle just makes it look ridiculously dark

you can buy "night shades" or black candy paint
