Default Rock Blocker rear light tinting

I've been meaning to do this for a while and finaly got my **** in gear and ordered the stuff from the states. I faniced a different look to the normal orange or STI rears and was pointed to them about a year ago.

Total cost was $24.95 including shipping and took about 5 minutes to fit, It's like a self adhesive tinting film which is precut for the rear lights. You can get red, light smoked or dark tint. I went for the dark tint and think it looks pretty good with the black of the Carbon spoiler.

heres the standard lights




Heres one light done



and the final result

I've got some of this on order.

Normal smoke kits allow 83% light output.
Yours look like dark smoke; they allow 70% light output.

Ah yes......but as I've ordered the normal smoke, I'll only have a 17% reduction and then only in reverse. I'm unlikely to be reversing so fast that 17% makes that much difference.

I'm blind as a bat anyway!!

Looks like it went on quite well there Danny

I've got a 50% reversing light reduction on mine..... mainly because my one reversing light has been converted to a fog
