Help me decide between redding out or blacking out taillights! - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I can't decide whether to red out the taillights or black out the taillights on my raven FRS. What do you guys think? Do you get pulled over a lot with blacked out lights? Which do you like better cosmetically? Any input/opinion would be much appreciated!

depends if you're talking about blacking out the housing or blacking out the cover.. i'd go with blacking out the housing..and you get pull over

I'd go for red if anything...the last thing you want is to have someone rear-end you because they didn't see your brake lights on a bright day. Just be cognizant that, either way, you will be reducing the light output of your taillights.

But I'd still say red - think it looks better anyway.

Definitely red.

Red. You could smoke them slightly to get the best of both worlds. Blacking them out is just asking for trouble.
