LEDs and Black-outs
I know this has probably come up before, but I couldn't find anything when searching. I was wondering how well you could see LED tail lights with the black-out lenses over them? I think I read somewhere where a guy had black-outs on his Vette (without LEDs) and his friends behind him said they couldn't see the lights through the blackouts. I think he may have been driving during the day or something but I can't remember. Has anyone else had this problem? I imagine it would be different with LEDs. I wouldn't want someone to run over me because they couldn't see me. Does anyone have any pics of their black-outs during the day and night?
Thank you for your help.

The tinted covers overr the standard bulb can be pretty dark buddy had them on his it wasnt impossible to see but yea it does cut down on the brightness obviously. The LED Halo mod will shine thru them much brighter sense the light out put is brighter. If you have the actual lenses tinted by say like JW motoring you can choose th level of darkness he has 3 stages. If you search LED Halo or LED tail lights you will find different levels of darkness. Im not able to upload and host on this computer or I would show you my lights. I fyou look in the forsale section under jwmotoring you will see alot of his work in there.

Heres a post from another site that shows his work ..
I bought mine from JW. Stage 2 tint.
I polished the halos to a mirror finish.

Before I did the mod.
With the mod done.
