  • darkened tail lights

    Recently I was reading a thread where someone asked about whether he should darken his tail lights or not. (Could have been doing a search on this site for some other reason and came across that thread but couldn't find it in a search of recent threads).

    Yesterday, While in town for some shopping with George, we saw a new Black Mustang that had blackened the whole rear tail light section. Can not understand why anyone is willing to drive a car at night or during the day with their tail lights covered as dark as these were so took a photo of the car while it was stopped at a light. I would bet that at night the tail lights show even less with just their lights on, and not stepping on the brakes.

    So, notice the vehicle in front of us and the brightness of their tail light, then notice the redlight's brightness, then notice the dim tail lights on the stopped Mustang.

          Crazy I remember cops pulling us over in the late 50-60's for having a center blue dot on 49-51 Ford tailights.

            They have kids in Fla? Are they the ones under 60?

              Rusty, correct. There is a year or two old Camero running around here that is something like a grabber green and he/she has green led lights on the front and back of the car. I don't see how they get away with it but they do.

                      Thanks for spotting that. I couldn't tell what it was as it was all black. It did have a woman driver.

                        I don't understand how GMC has gotten away with a red reflector on their grille for the past several years. I thought only white or amber was allowed on the front.

                          It definately is a MOPAR and in some states doing what he has done to his lights is illegal and if stop a fix it ticket will be issued and you have 5 days to comply while in other states they just fine you to collect the money.
                          Also, tinted windows % can also get you in trouble with the law in some states.

                            I wouldn't alter a car making it more difficult to see at night.
