I would never put them on my car never ever not even if one got smashed just - no

and while we are on the topic how do we feel about tinted rear tail light (originals) on cars? I think that if its a good tint job it can look very tough - what do you guys think?

Tinted original rear lights - legislated against I think - but properly done, can look good.

I had them on my silver ED looked o.k, but then mine was lowered rims, etc. But I have seen a white ED doing the rounds and it is stock with rust etc, it looks like a joke. Also stock P plater VS/VT/VX with the chrome ones make me laugh.

Anyway I didn't vote as there was no option for "looks o.k on the right vehicle" I think the colour of a vehicle and the colour of the lights also has alot to do with it.

tinted lights are worse then Altezzas, 10x more dangerous and really tacky looking...the night shade isn't shiny....

Everytime im following a car with nightshade im thinking how nice it would be for them to pay for a nice new paint job on my bumper bar.

Really does depend on the colour. I'm glad you didnt say ea-eb either. They just look like stock ones that have faded

I agree depends what car they are on. The worst version of the lights is the VS-VR holden tail lights they make me dry reach.....

They're alright. It just depends on the colour combination. Some colours they suit and others they look horribly wrong!

When i had an AU, i put a set on it. Mostly so that it didn't look like every other gold AU that was around at the time (clones?).
it's not like it'd actually make it look any worse.
