Taillight tints
Question, has anyone ever just tinted the reverse light part of the tail light? Ive seen it on other cars and it looks really nice. Was wondering how it would look like on the TL.

^Why? Wouldn't it look out of place with just the reverse light black out and the rest still red? Also reduce the amount of light output from the bulbs.

Wouldn't you want oncoming traffic to see you backing up and have clarification seeing reverse lights?
