hey, sorry if this is in the wrong category. pretty sure ive got this one nailed.
but i need help!
id rather not tint over the reverse lights, given window tinting and safety concerns for backing up, but those circles just look awkward. so i tried to come up with another option. if you have another idea, id be happy to see it. (not my car, just a picture off google)

Polls are STILL not working. But yeah, just leave the reverse lights, but not the bar in the middle. #2

For the sake of looks, I will have to go with option A. To address the safety concerns, add a secondary set of lights, rectangular, small but bright lights should fit the bill, mount them on the underside of the bumper, or in the overhang on either side of the license plate. Not only does this give you the option of more light output to punch through the tinted windows, it doesn't take away from the look. Heck, it might even add to it.

Don't tint the reverse lights.. It'll add something to a giant swathe of black, and be functional, and might just save you from getting pulled over.

Random lights under the bumper? Takes away big time....

Option B without a doubt, and if backing up with tint is your concern you could always get a brighter(led) set of reverse lights

I would personally go with option b plus these covers:

His car had that center cover, just not the outer two. Might have looked better if it did...

I agree with going for the full taillight cover. I think the tail lights without the covers is too much.
