Rear Tails - Toyota Yaris Forums

Well here I go, found a pair of original taillights for under a $100. Going to get them tinted by a friend at a bodyshop. I will keep the orginals just in case I get a ticket. Will show pictures at soon as I get them installed. Hopefully in a couple of days. This will give me a black sand pearl all around with windows at 20.%

Can't wait to see the finished pics. There's another member with the black sand pearl that smoked his lights with the same paint and it turned out really good.

I am planning on getting a black yaris, and think the smoked/tinted lights look is awesome.

I wanted to ask; when you tint it, the red light still shows through when it turns on, it just doesn't look red when the light is not on correct?
Why can you get a ticket for it then?? Does the tint block out the light, or do cops want to see your light even when its not on?
I don't get it.

I want my car to look perfect in my eyes.. I just don't care to get tickets. For example I really wish I could tint all the windows but I'm only going to do the back =(

I thought the light tinting wasn't illegal since the pics I've seen show that the red light still gets through the tint!
