• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Anyone tint or even spray (paint) their lights? Headlights, fogs, tails? Either DIY or professionally.

I'm testing this out, not sure I'm totally sold on it yet tho. Thinking about smoking the tailights too. And in case you would ask why, well for me its purely aesthetic. I do not see any lighting benefit either so far. Could even be worse output now honestly, but these foglights never really wowed me so no loss there if I keep this film on them. Lmk your thoughts or what you've done
 
I’ve only ever seen people use yellow vinyls on their fogs to improve visibility. I would think anything other than yellow/white would reduce the function.

In terms of blacking out the tails, it is very common in my area. Maybe a very very light smoke vinyl is ok, but I’ve seen some terribly dark black vinyl or nightshade spraypaint applications that make it very difficult to see when cars are breaking in the daytime or from a far at night.
