You don't need to though, it's only so the whole tailights arent covered in whatever you use. I just bought night shades and did a couple coats, came up good and plenty of light still gets through.

22-03-06, 10:45 GMT+10#93 Hey guys, tinted tail lights look sick, but when you get some half blind old prick behind you and your lights are dull from the tint and you go to brake and the old bugger cant see your brake lights come on, watch out mate, because you might end up with no tail lights at all in the end! However a simple third brake light on the parcel-shelf is a good idea Then you can have them as dark as you want!
