why - wud someone know?

i been told by some source that its cos the red reflective bit on the break section must not be obscured

lol its defeting the purpose.your lights are used to show people what your up to.eg stoping turning reversing,then you get a idiot coming along and making them black so the person behind you cant see what your doing.seems sensless to me why you make them black?they look cool yeh but id pefure some one not crashing into the back off me beacuse they couldnt see my back lights,

there iilegal to a certain point.if there black as then yes.if there slightly tintd you shuld be ok.as long as all lights are still 100% visual and it hasnt effect the lighting.

no no mine are stock lites

have seen some lightly tinted ones on TM and wana know before buying

i agree with u man - black ones are silly

byt how much of a tint is ok to slide thru without getting pulled over - i suppose thats my question

have seen lotsa cars that have tinted ones but never really questioned further on that lol

factory dark taillights are A OK,

as soon as i start to tint them you can have issues even a light tint is "illegal" but u may get away with it for bit or not depends on tester/police/insurance,if u get rear eneded by some dick who is not looking and the insurance company sees u had non stock lenses it may be an out for them is they so choose

if you use tinting spray on any light its illegal an most will probably fail your wof on it. I always wondered about aftermarket lights that are tinted though because there are quite alot out there, what are the rules on changing to an aftermarket light?

If it a tinted aftermarket light that was designed as a tinted version then as long as it has the correct markings then it should be fine....

its not the darkness they look for but they actual light that comes out of it.if the tints effects the brightness of the light you will fail,if they have a slight tint on them you shall be sweet,common sence really.

They'l be sweet man, I had dark tinted tail lights on my first car and i had no problems what so ever... You could still see the lights so it was all good.. You shouldnt have a problem with aftermarket tinted lights too...

really.s*** man.thats quite expensive.you shuld have bought tint spray from repco.does the same trick!

I want LED lights. Its not the smoke that makes them expensive its that they are from the USA and a decent quality LED light.

Some cheaper versions dont have LED for the turn signals.

I thought $650 odd for aftermarket led lights of good quality was pretty cheap including delivery.

And tuning isn't something to skimp money on, not that I can talk I do it with gotasuby.

surley 600$ could have been spent better on performance mods.easy.but like i said his car his money.i would have looked into a panel filter upgrade,dwnpipe,then tune,im sure stm had a offer going 50% all dyno tunning or something

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
