I have seen vehicles in which the driver has covered the headlights or tail lights with tinted plastic to make it appear there are no lights or to match the vehicle’s colour. Since these lights are for safety (including brake lights and turn signals), the brighter the light the easier the vehicle will be seen. Dulling these lights by making them shine through dark plastic will make your vehicle less visible to all other drivers. This is not a good idea.

Tinted taillights are not that bad as long as you don't go crazy dark. I will never understand tinted headlights though. There is a fox body mustang around here that has totally blacked out headlights to the point I don't even think his lights would work.

Blacked out headlights do work if you use the correct stuff. Have seen it in person but cant think what the stuff is called

The rear bumper looks like ****, but I like the rest of the car. Can't imagine the tag associated with that, but I beat its a blast to drive.
