Default Photoshop Request (tinted tails)

I was wondering if someone could photoshop this picture I have, to make it look like my car has tinted tail lights. I wasn't sure if it'd look good with my color and burger panel. So, I want to see what it'd look like first. So, if someone could photoshop it for me, it'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks.


Here's the pic I want photoshopped:

I don't really think I'm into it. I doubt I'll end up tinting them. I was just going to use some VHT Night-Shade on them to do it. So much for that idea. Thanks man.

How about this?: If you tint the reverse lights, you will lose visibility at night....

I think one of the reasons I'm not really liking it, is because the lighting in the pic is bad. It was a cloudy day. This pic is kind of blurry, but has a little more color to it. Anyone care to try it?

I like the look of it now, with the new pic. I'm actually getting a black vinyl Z28 overlay for the 3rd brake light though. So, I'm not going to try and tint it.

when backing up at night you will lose visibility because the light will NOT shine through with the taillights blacked out, and it makes it even harder to see if you have tint on the rear window.

When it is raining at night I cannot see anything, so i have to roll down my window and stick my head out. I almost want to cut out the section where the reverse lights are on my blackout covers because of the damn visibility

My reverse lights don't come on half the time anyways. lol. I think the switch is bad or something. If I'd stop being lazy, I'd go buy a new one at Autozone, for like $10 and replace it. But, I'm lazy. lol
