Wouldnt go too dark mate, or the person behind you isnt gonna see your brake lights :wink:

The ed30/R32 version is best for changing , or get the darkened LED rear lights like Red Robin has as an Example.

Blacked out lights are just Chav'd up, and not a good look imo for a classy car :happy2:

I think if you tint the rears, the reflectors need to be visible. If that's not possible, you need to add some reflectors, in which case the R32 rear maybe worth a shot.

Not a fan of these personally but i saw a thread on another forum where a guy had shaded his rears himself. Will see if i can find diy
