If you rear end someone because they have a tinted 3rd brake light then id say you'd be the douche.

It's a dark smoke and still illuminates nicely with LEDs.

In the daylight its more of a dark maroon

I'm guessing he's pointing out that there are two other brake lights on our trucks and if you can't see those you've got problems. No different than if you have a cap on and are covering the third brake light.

Yes that^. No clue why a tinted 3rd brake light is asking for it.

I had a local painter do them. 1:10 clear/black ratio I believe, sanded, polished, then cleared.
