Re: tinting lights

Re: Bonnesaurus takes a hit! NOW WITH PICS!!

in my state (new hampshire) 99.99% of the time if u are hit from behind it is automaticly considered the person who hit yous fault. I have been on the *shoot* end of that involving some deer and an idiot who thought stoping on a highway is a good idea

Re: tinting lights

You're missing my point. If you use VHT NightShades, you will be darkening the plastic lens COVERING the internal plastic on the lamp. The F-150, as well as the Bonneville, has black internal plastic. The lens on the F-150 is NOT tinted.

the police are generally don't bug you to much unless u drive like a ricer and even when they do they usualy just give you a warning about it. But yeah i just want them slightly darker deff not so much darker that the police would give it a second look
