Followed by "power hungry cop wanted to check my headlights. He has no right to violate my right not to be searched" and "some moron rear ended me I am going to sue their pants off".

I think they think tinted lights look good. IMHO they look like cr@p. I'd rather throw Burger King Halloween whopper blue/green feces on the tails/headlights, than tint. It looks so rice. Just turn them off at night if you gonna tint... LOL



Might as well paint them black.

No offense brothers. Just an opinion.

I don't mind tinted lights at all they can look really good. The problem is that there is a difference between tinted and painted. It is not the same thing there folks. Tinted lights can still let the proper amount of light through. Paint won't. And then there is the ultimate in shear idiocy that I have now seen twice locally. That is the strange new practice of plastidipping tails.

LOL only rear lights I seen plastidipped were on a Si! hahaha

All tails I see dark are super dark. So dim that when they brake at night, I can't tell the difference if they just on or slowing down!

Spotted them from across the parking lot. Looked like two blackboards on the back of the car. Actually looked even worse in person than in the pic. I hung for a few minutes but nobody showed. Parked in the same spot yesterday so presume they work there.

I shivered in disgust. F! that, i'm going to bed.

P.S. look at the gas door... LOL looks like sharpy ink was rubbed off in a circle using polish.... ewwwwww


To each their own, though!

There were bits and pieces done all over the car. I couldn't care less about that but those tails looked like crap.

How is this any different than the fuck heads who drive around with 2/3 brake lights out? At least if you have smoked tails, they're still working.

Not defending smoked tails, as it's not something I'd do. Just felt like that point should be made.

Probably depends on why they are out, and did the fuck head know, or should he have known, they were out.

A guy with smoked tails intentionally degraded a safety item on a vehicle. If the gentleman who slammed into his car claims he didn't see the brake lights glow, that could be significant in a trial.

Kind of like taking out a passenger air bag (you know, for weight savings), and not telling the passenger. Different than if the bag didn't work, but the driver didn't know it was inoperable.

[why?]

taking out the airbags is a hell of a lot safer than blacking out taillights. Plus, unless you are the perfect 6' 180 lb male the airbags would probably injure you if they went off anyways.

Not true and really not true. This isn't 1974 airbag tech. It is not a disputable fact that modern airbags reduce injury. They can't eliminate them but in no way do they cause them.
