because blackout lights are illegal in california. you can order it online at afterthoughtsauto.com or on ebay, or you can go to autozone and buy the covers for 50 bucks or so. people always ask me if i niteshaded them. and if i ever do get a fix it ticket, i just pop them off

Amazing. I can't believe California would not allow you to darken out the only part that notifies the car behind you not to hit you.

The nerve of those *******.

I bought the precut tint on ebay for $17 shipped. You can cut it or trim it etc. It turns out pretty good.

lol......that is why it is special paint. when you hit the breaks the red lights come on to let the dumb asses behind you know that your stopping.
