    Since I got my 250 the rear lights haven't matched, I wonder if the previous owner cracked one and then replaced it but I'm not sure which one is original and what is the aftermarket?

    Ah I was hoping it would the left side as I prefer the look of the darker one lol
     
  4. Tint your rear lights when the new right one is in then :tongueout: I'm gonna give mine a go and mess it up

    The left one also has a dead bug in it which annoys me

    I'll probably mess the tinting up if I tried it!

    How does the chrome wear away inside the housing like that?
     
  6. Looks like the bottom half on the right is tinted, just pull the tint off.
     
  7. does look like its been tinted, have a close look and see its a plastic film over it

    Just checked, no tint. I'm guessing it's not a genuine one which is fine, I just want them matching.
     
  9. Tinting lights seems like a very odd thing to do

    Why? Some people prefer the look, just like tinting windows.
     
  11. Lights are there for a reason, why would you want to make them not work as well.

    I don't think effects the light coming through does it? Its like a 1 way window
     
  13. Depends on the tint used I guess
     
  14. They do block light, but hardly. I would never go very dark, just defeats the object of not getting pulled over :tongueout: a light tint won't affect the light visibility at all and looks miles better than the hideous red from the brake light reflectors

    It's not so much the red I don't like it's the chrome as it seems out of place to me
     
  16. I prefer the left side against a yellow car, lmao
