Default "Tinted" the reverse lights...
OK, not really tint, but from a few feet away it's hard to tell that it's not tint. I used perforated black vinyl that I got from work.

good idea how it will look, but you need to do it fully without the perf stuff.

My last day of work is tomorrow and I just picked this up today. Can't push my luck on how much of the "scraps" I ask for since it's about $33 a yard. They're pretty protective of it.

Yup, you're right. Dark cars need tinted reverse lights.
I've never was a fan of those lights, except on silver & white cars.

So, I got rid of them on mine as well.

Thanks guys.

I know there are cleaner ways of doing it, but I work at a sign company, got the stuff for free, and it serves the purpose.
