fire up the grill. i do beleave it is ok you can get dark lenses for the front fog and headlights

**LS trauma** · 4-2-07, 1:30

Yeah, im pretty sure that its legal. as pearson said, you can buy dark lenses for the front lights. Be sure to post up some pictures after you do it. I have a silver mx6 too and have been thinking about darkening the tails.

**Zapata2119** · 4-2-07, 9:04

they are only legal during the day for headlights i don't think you'll have a problem with the tails

Just because you can buy them, that doesnt mean they are legal.

The ones for the fronts are only legal during the day, not at night. Hence the reason they come with removable tabs/velcro, so you can put them on/take them off easily.

The tails... well that just depends on how much of a prick the cop wants to be. Im pretty sure its illegal, but most wont hassle you for it.

**kylew4ever** · 4-2-07, 12:29

thanks guys i think im gonna do the tails first and then see how that goes.

gonna do that tomorrow or thursday.

will post up pics

**SAdrmmr04** · 4-2-07, 15:27

my friend smoked the tails on his tibby and hasn't gotten pulled over for them for over a year now. but yea, that doesn't make them legal. it looked damn nice tho because his car is all blacked out

**red_mazda_mx6** · 4-2-07, 16:31

tinting lights is illegal, except i suppose fogs wouldn't be since you could argue that i4s don't even come with them.

most people don't get pulled over for it or hassled when it comes to tails. many cars came with dark/black taillights stock and most cops aren't going to know what a mx6 is.

headlights is a different story. in VA, you will be pulled over quickly in the day. you shouldn't do it anyways. i don't think completely black headlights looks good. and aspecs already are horrible for light output so why would you make it that much worse?

**MX-six** · 4-5-07, 2:06

In a lot of states actually, it is illegal to change pretty much anything to the car. So anything that isn't stock from the factory can be illegal. But cops don't really care much, tail lights tinting in Oregon cops dont really care about them never heard anything about cops hasseling people. The headlights are fine during the day, but a cop will possibly hassle you on that at night time. But also you wont be able to see much at night too, which is a bad safety hazard. And deff. sucks in the rain when u can barely see as it is. Foglights really are irrelevant, just cuz some cars dont come with them, just an option. Minor accessity or how u would call it.

**Elmer_Fudd** · 4-5-07, 16:25

tint all the lights if you want but instead of tinting the headlights get the smoke headlight covers so you can take them off at night.

**bkdog411** · 4-5-07, 17:00

Like everyone else said that should be completely legal. I advise against tinting the reverse piece of the tail lights cause that might be illegal in some states and it could cause an accident.

I think you need to lower your car first, i have a silver mx6 too and i think they are ugly riding really high, but the tint looks tight. I reccomend some angel eye projector headlights

**LS trauma** · 4-7-07, 0:57

ledstevo, do you have any pictures of your car you could post? There arent many pics of silver mx6s around and i too have a silver one.

**MX6_VTECH** · 4-7-07, 10:55

I just bought a can of VHT Niteshades off of Summit a week ago. I can wait till its warm enough to do my tails and reverse lights (Eclipses have fog light size reverse lights)

**chaddyd** · 4-7-07, 23:05

hah, i just tinted my tails to red this time, and accidentally didnt tape off the left reverse light... so I have wanna-be e-spec tails. the reverse light shows up red and doesnt provide any light
so yeah, dont tint the reverse.
