I can't understand such a total blacking out of your lights, I just spent $900 because the stock lights sucked! This just makes them even worse.

I'm not trying to be a d-bag, I am really curious why people want to do this. Is it just looks? I can understand that as I am thinking about painting the reflection housing in mine black, but to cover up the actual light output confuses me.

In my state this would get me a ticket before I got out of my neighborhood.....lol The police would literally ask me if "I'm just stupid or don't care"....lol It's all cosmetic (which does look good), but not functional AT ALL when driving at night. You couldn't even get away with this during the daytime since your front turn signals would be obstructed....while it does look badass, my wallet doesn't want to pay the ticket everyday I'd get driving.

Is that all that needs to be done to darken the tails a little is paint? I don't want my tails blacked out but a little darker would do. Maybe smoked is the word I'm looking for. The regular (non-BLIS) tails just look weird to me on a black truck.

I'm not sure how he does it , but he uses automotive paint and clear on them , then buffs them, and they come out really nice , much better than the tacky niteshade paint from oreillys , you can make it dark or light as you want
