I did 3 coats of VHT Niteshades on my tail lights. I tested my tails out and they seem a little dimmer than stock but not by much. I also have a very bright LED CHMSL mounted in the rear window.

I just wanted to know if you think I run the risk of getting pulled over for them. Is there anyone on here who has received a ticket for tail light tint?

I have 2 applications on my XJ right now...


I have 4 applications on my Camaro's tail lights but have never had any legality issues. However it will really depend on the officer looking at them. Just because I haven't doesn't mean I won't.

can you post a picture of your light please...??

i forget how many coats i did, it looks a bit darker in person. nvr had any problem with the cops or when time for inspection.heres a pic of my taillights and markers

Its too dark out to take pics but I'll post some tomorrow

mine are really really dark like i sprayed them with black spray paint and i havent had a issue with any cops yet and they have been right behind me before

found a day time pic of mine

Mine look like that only a little lighter. Good to hear you aren't getting pulled over or anything.

Check MI's vehicle codes. They should have a section that discusses lighting, tinting, etc. Good place to find out whether it's legal or not.

just a heads up I saw the other day at my pep boys they have the red night shades.

in case you want to lose the yellow part like I did.

I did mine a while ago with testors transparent hobby paint. Hot rod red.

I did the corner markers on my '96 a few weeks back. Pulled up next to the fuzz at night a few days ago and all I got was a thumbs up. Guess it depends on the officer.

What you mean LED? and how'd you install them?

Getting to your question.... I did the samething with family who is an LEO. He said that it is up to the discretion of the LEO. Most of the times you'll just get a fix it ticket. For instance, you have to pay a $90 fee of you fix them (ie get new ones) or pay $200 to not fix them.

Wow, I like how yours came out! I've been thinking about tinting mine or just painting the amber in the back.. my Jeep is about the same color as yours lol.

Here's the tails when off





Here's the tails when the brakes are applied

I have an LED strip that I mounted in the rear window where the stock CHMSL was. I used electrical crimp connectors to tap into the stock CHMSL's 12v source.


Yeah odds are if I am ever pulled over it'll be a fix it ticket.
