Hope you don't get rear ended.

Just a word of warning. No matter how bright you think they are, if you applied non-factory tint to any lights and you are in an accident, all the other party has to say is that they didn't see your lights. Their ins. company investigates, sees you applied non-factory tint to them (no matter how light) and you're SOL.

The reason I bring this up is this exact thing happened to a neighbor of mine in college... just FYI. He tried to argue that there's no way the amount of tint he had on his tails could affect their visibility, all the insurance company asked him was "Was there non-factory tint applied to the lights, yes or no?" The answer was yes, the discussion ended there.
