These look nice, did you install the headlight tint too? Are the tails really dark in person or more of a smoked look that still lets plenty of light through?

I head down to the Central Valley sometimes and the cops over that way don't like any kind of tint/missing front plates, etc.
I did have the headlights tinted, but I didn't like the look, so I removed it...the tint in the rear is a dark smoke but the red of the taillights really shine through, I wouldn't worry about that so much...

I’ve got a whole thread on tinting my headlights too. Ended up removing it. Looked cool. Not worth the light degradation.

Thanks for pointing me in the direction of that thread, 66% light reduction is enough for me not to do the tint. My vision in daylight is extraordinary, but at night I can do with all the help I can get!

I give up, I'm just not good enough or patient enough I guess. Can't get it just right.

Put tinting on my wife's truck today. Soooo much easier. I'll wait and see if a kit comes out like it. Simply just attached them on. Has double sided tape on the inside.

Here is my take on making the rear end look how I want. I tinted just the upper half of the taillights and applied gloss black wrap on the upper part of the hatch opposed to the entire area where the taillights are as seen on some other Mach-E's here. I wanted to keep the design of the taillights how they curve up. There are some weird reflections on the black when I took these photos. It looks better in person.

Yes I did. Removed all GT badging on my car, inside and out. There are 19 ponies on the car, I can do with one less on the rear. #59

Finally got both done. Second light went much better. I’ll try and take a better pick after I get this thing clean. I ordered just light smoke without the hex. Debating doing headlights. But at the rate car projects go with late nights after little one goes to bed it could be a little while. Looks sick with Dark Matter Gray. Thanks for the tips and pointers along the way.
Do you have a link to the version you bought? I like the non hex look

I like the non-hex too. But I didn’t know what the hell I was doing when I started. ?

that looks amazing, unfortunately here in CA you'd get ticketed every 500m. I'm doing mine but doing the light smoke to have a better shot of not getting pulled over

I'm in Cali and I haven't been pulled over for it and if I was ever I would walk behind the car and pull them off to avoid the fix-it.

In the sun it looks almost like a lot of the mfg tinted taillights. This is the exact same color and brand that @Scooby24 used. Just the difference between daylight vs night

wow yours look like light smoke wheras his def look much darker. I am getting the dark matter gray as well, might be that they just look ligheter in a darker car. I def like the look of yours.

I looked at lamin-x and their gunsmoke tint looks very similar to the VViViD light smoke tint I was looking at getting, so it seems like it's just different brands calling it different names https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083LF9RK...t_i_THA0SRMWQZPC1449NJ7Q?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
