    tinted back up lights

    Was searching for a picture of a back of a black MM with both the taillights and back up lights tinted.

    Thanks

    I did the S55 to the taillights. Personally I wouldn't tint the back up lights. I have tinted windows and have a hard time seeing anything out the back window when backing up. If they were tinted I wouldn't see anything at all.
    I had something interesting to put here but I lost it in transition... damn... now I'll never rememeber... You know who should be maddest of all? All of you reading this because up till now you've been looking for something good. And I got nothing... Sorry.

    I'll be running a back-up camera.

    Curious, has it even ever been done yet?

    karter told me that the CV lights are more clear than the MM ones! He knows more about the non MMs than I do and it sounded like a reasonable explanation!

    It really doesn't matter if they're tinted or not. I wouldn't black out my tail lights.

    no one swapped put my trunk panel unless they did it at night while I was sleeping.....

    I'll repeat....

    The Marauder tail light and reverse lights are tinted from the factory!

    They may be made out of different / better material than the cv, but they are not tinted!
