01-02 tail lights anyone thought about...

Tinting them with the type of tint that still lets light through but it makes the light look darker? would look good on silver or black CL, is this possible?

Other's have already done this. You can purchase the tint i'm guessing from any normal tint place...

www.c-c-c.net also sells the tint for the taillights, but i believe it's pre-cut to fit over the signal indicator sectionn of the taillight.

there you go

the tint on this car was rather dark, i think it would look better if it wasn't so dark.

i have a black 01 cls and was thinking about doing the same, junior mentioned to me that using the dark tint is not a good idea.

I wouldn't do it to my CLS, but I wonder what it would look like to have the tint on the red and leave the reverse light clear on a 2002 or 01.

yea they are '03 tailights, but the color should give you an idea of what the tint looks like on it.

have you ever looked at the taillights on the silver pontiac grand ams, or gran prix's (not sure which it is). Their stock tails have a darker tint to them, and thats probably similar to how the 01-02 silver CL would look with the tint on the tails. I'm just guessing.

IMHO I'd still rather have the 03 tails, tinted or not.

I'm just curious, wouldn't the tint turn purple over the years?
