    Nah. Just not doing it for me. I'm not knocking you for doing it, I just don't like it. Sorry.

    Where do you live that you can pass inspection with such dark tail lights? If you ever plan to drive at night, I wouldn't suggest tinting the headlights.

    The other issue besides light output is reflectivity. DOT requires all vehicles to have red reflectors on the rear of the vehicle. It is for making your vehicle visible when the lights are not on and to determine that it is the rear of the vehicle. Tinting you tail lamps negates this.
