I was tinkering with the idea of black tint, I know its illegal and bla bla, but when done PROPERLY I reckon it looks a million bucks. so I got a mate to do a photoshop for me (before I removed badges he chopped them out too) and this is what the result will look like hopefully.*NOTE, tones in well with the illegal tint *NOTE 2, Ignore my mates addition to my rear bumper Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/16198-taillight-mods/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think it looks good. better than chrome rice lights or clear lights. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>I don't agree that tinting closer to your body colour would do nothing, the tint itself would cover the lights(If that's how the tints work on lights), and having no light from behind (unless they are turned on etc) should give an external appearance of the colour of the tint (I hope) to some extent.Don't get me wrong, I think they look good in Black, just thought for a lighter colour, that a body coloured light would blend in more (To match with the de-badged appearance)They look cool though, not 'ricey'Pretzel Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/16198-taillight-mods/#findComment-228734 Share on other sites More sharing options...
