Before I remove the tint from my tail lights...What do you think?

After blacking out just about everything on my Evo 10, I decided to move to the tail lights. The only thing is that I'm not sure if I'm really feeling it.

Before I remove the tint, I thought I would get some other opinions first.

What do you think?

they look very evil, but i think they're a bit too dark. the taillights shouldn't be darker than the car, given that phantom black isn't a deep black, if you lightened up the taillight tint a bit i think it would even everything out.

for example your headlights, even with the tint you can still make out some detail of the projectors, turn signals, etc.

Alexander, I was thinking that they were a little dark compared to the phantom black paint. The headlights were painted black (not tinted) and they ended up looking great but I think that was because the front bumper also has black accents. The rear is a different story.

I think you should go with a lighter tint first, otherwise remove it.. It is too dark, maybe ralliart tails? I think the red looks decent on the black though.

exactly, you need a bit of contrast in the rear to break up what otherwise is a pretty simple design. i would say get a lighter tint for the tails and give that a shot. OR, get the ralliart tails and call it a day
