Can you take some pics with the brakes engaged at night? Only thing I'm concerned about is reduced visibility.

Also mine is pretty dark and you can even see them pretty good during the day. Night is no problem at all. And if you're worried about that go to www.superbrightleds.com and get led bulbs which are twice as bright I have them in every interior light and my cargo light as you can see. I also mounted lights under my pumper n connected them to my reverse harness because between the 5% tint and the completely tinted tail lights the reverse lights don't light much up. But you can also tape off over them as other ppl showed on this thread

Awesome! Thanks for the information. Once I get everything, that will definitely be a mod on my list, LEDs and all.

Make sure to niteshade the lights in the middle of the day. That way you can easily test if your brake lights are still easily visible in the daylight

Primo you totally just sold me on doing this mod. I really like the look of em tinted on the black truck which was my thought in the first place. The only thing different I'm going to do is mask the reverse lights. Looks like I gotta get some niteshade and plasti-dip for my badges then ill be blacked out!
