Default Smokem
I tried painting tails originally however they came out pretty dull. I've had the tint on for nearly a year with no probs yet. Not even with Popo (the Police). Picture attached is with paint not tint.

shift-6, loved the contrast. Your tails looked really nice against black and your wheels are awesome. That's black right?

These are my Red outs on the DSM. Best 13 bucks i've spent on the car. Easy to put on too.

Is it true with red outs, the turn signal is red and less visible?

I'm trying to figure out which one to go with and visibilty is a big factor....

I guess the red outs do hinder the visibility a tad bit, but when I saw the Aerotect red outs applied on my IS, you could clearly see the signals blinking.

It was during the bright time of the day too.

if it does decrease the light output.. it's not by much. probably even unnoticeable. when mine blink, i honestly can't tell theres a red overlay on top.

I just got redouts put on 2 days ago along with yellow fog overlays and I LOVE them. Thanks for the tip guys!

Red out with chrome trim
Edit: I put the trim on before I had the red outs so it took a bit the attention away from the orange blinkers and I really liked that. Now I had to take them off some days ago because after a car wash and some hours in the sun the trim peeled off partially. (Thou it is 3M). I admit that the red out lights now look better without the trim, it seems more high class by now.
However, I leave the pic for those who like. (Even if there are not many )
