Re: Headlights opinions!

It would look good on the tail lights, since the truck is black, but the black headlights would look very 1980s

Re: Headlights opinions!

I wouldnt on that truck. I think the dark blue with blacked out lights would look goofy, especialy with the chrome bezels. Look around for some different taillights to if you want a "show truck look". Those trailer lights will look bad if you try to black them out, my buddie tried it on his jeep and it looked horrible.

Re: Headlights opinions!

What color is your truck? If its black then try it, just use something that will come off easy if you dont like it. I would still look around for different taillights tho.

Re: Headlights opinions!

I wouldn't smoke them unless you never drive your truck. My friend got a ticket for smoked lights the other day, they are too much of a hassle for me. Inspection, cops, etc. And what if they're too dim and I rearend you one night and total your truck and mine? Id be mad.

No. Tinted tail lights and Headlights are for Highschool kids with Honda's.

Re: Headlights opinions!

IMO, a light smoke on the tail lights is nice. Unless you intend on running custom leds in the tails, I wouldn't black them out. As for the headlights, I would definitely not tint them at all. If you wanna do something a little different with the headlights, I'd paint the head light surrounds the same blue as the truck.
