Black Line Tail Lights
Anyone have these on their car, or seen them on a CM? How tinted are they? I have the black line side indicators and was wondering if the darkness of the two match.

Anyone?

You can save a buttload of cash and tint them yourself with VHT nightshades for $10. So easy to do. I did mine, and even masked out the reverse light so there's no blockage of light when backing up.

Pidge, which exhaust tips/system do you have there? I like how the tips fill out the exhaust holes.

They are part of the JCW aero kit. They attach to the frame of the car and then the existing exhaust slips into them.

I just installed a set of the OEM blackline taillights. I will post a picture soon after a wash. They look clean and I have Philips L.E.D.s installed so light output isn't affected.

I might buy a new set of tail lights and use a couple coats of VHT Nite-Shade on them to get that blacked out look without hurting light output.

I used these. Yes they do throw a code so you will have to code them out. Very easy to code anyway.

I hope this helps show how dark they are. These are the black line taillights along with black line side indicators.
