Default Tail lights

Hey just wondering if any one has tinted their tail lights? VHT or actual tint? Maybe upgrade the bulbs to LED to counteract the tint? The bright red just pains me.

Yep, I used Rustoleum lens tint (followed by wet sanding and Meguiars ultimate compound on my DA polisher for about an hour on each light, then Collinite 845) with Sylvania ZEVO 3157 red leds:

Are those the OEM lights? Looks they've been modded, if so, what did they do? They look great.

Thanks, but I have a couple hours into each tail, between sanding, masking, painting, wet-sanding and polishing. I like the fact I did them myself. As for the tag lights, they are Sylvania ZEVO 194.

That's why the reverse looks like it does. Ya, I'm a little less than sold on my aftermarket ones myself.
