Default Tinted tail lights

Can I get some pics of black Camaro's with tinted tail lights? I've tried searching but the way it is set up now I can't find anything. Any pictures would be helpful.

Thanks

I've since stripped the tint and polished them back to stock, I'm not a big fan of the whole all black look. Bad pics but you get the idea.




Here's a more recent pic for reference....

With those wheels looks alot better not tinted. If you had blk wheels with a polished lip it would be a different story

Thanks for the pics. I'm not sure if I will like it yet, but that is why I bought an extra set of tail lights. If I don't like the way it looks, I'll just go back to stock.

I dont like them all black. I think they look really good with the reverse light left clear and the tails lightly tinted

Haha the cops where I live could care less. About every lifted z71 has a crappy tinted tail light job and the cops don't even give them a second glance. I even know of a guy (which I am embarrassed to say) that used actual spray paint on his lights and he doesn't even get pulled over. I think I'm gonna be okay.

I asked the guys at the inspection place about it when I took my truck a few months before the car. They said as long as they were visible from a distance it was ok. Said they had some ricer that had a mitsubishi with legal windows and every lense on it vht'd. The headlights were even tinted, but still were bright and they passed it. Of course this same place never looked under my car to see if it had cats, even after mentioning the smell.
