So today im blacking out my tail lights and i cant wait to see what it looks like! I cleaned them really good and now finished with the first coat. Ill keep posting pictures so you guys can see how they turn out :)

Looks good, but i think you should have masked off the reverse lights so you would still be able to see at night while backing up.

But that gets rid of the point of blacking out. when its finished all the way ill take a picture with them on my truck and they will look great!

i like the blacked out tails look, but i would only do it with leds for safety reasons.

I taped off my reverse lights and it looks just as good, if not better, than 100% blacked out. At least my opinion!

Yeah if your using that crappy night shade (no offense lol) I would be careful how dark you make it.

Didn't we just have this discussion in another section of the board....

Ah, well. Cool trumps safety and legality.

I still consider this being blacked out. And in my opinion looks a little better.
