Re: How to black out all signal cover, brake lights on the H2
Do you really want to decrease the effectiveness of your tail lights at the expense of safety? Sorry, but blacked out tail lights just really chap my phucking hide...total disrespect for the safety of others, IMO.

Re: How to black out all signal cover, brake lights on the H2
Uhh Yah!
A slight tint and completely dark tint are two different things.
In California for a tint to be legal you have to be able to see the shade of white for the reverse light, so completely blacked out ones are illegal anyway.
If people are tailgateing me and not paying attention to the road, it is there own fault, not mine. They need to put down the cell phone, quit pickin their nose and pay attention to the road.

Re: How to black out all signal cover, brake lights on the H2
Tinting looks pretty good I went with smoked LED taillights and Bumper Lights. Also I got the side marker covers that was chrome then body colored the chrome part. I will be installing the recon lights soon.

Re: How to black out all signal cover, brake lights on the H2
Saw this on the freeway and if you notice, the lights are still red not completely black on the roof and you can still see the white light in the brake lights. Does this look more like a spray job?

Re: How to black out all signal cover, brake lights on the H2
Well for those who are interested, it seems to achieve this look it needs to be taken to a body shop and painted (to have a nice professional look). So I am going to get some estimates in the next dew days.

I just did my set at one of my bodyshops to my mini.
You can make them as dark or light as you want.
Even with them as dark as I did them, here's a couple of pics so you can see what they look like with brakes on.

Re: How to black out all signal cover, brake lights on the H2
Ya, the tail lights look like they have been sprayed and then clear coated over. The clear coat is important, it's very dull without, even if you are trying to achieve a flat black look, it jujst doesn't look right... I am guessing the markers too and they just did a lighter coat of black spray...
