How well do the lights show through with the tint being so dark?

I agree, look good, but I've had experience with other people's vehicles being really hard to see in bright sunlight.

I have the dark cherry halo lights...and yes, they are hard to see in bright sunlight. A bit unnerving and I'm very careful when I have the sun to my back when in traffic.

I can't bring myself to change them though as they cost so darn much, and they work well and look so good in all other conditions.

I'm a fan of the blacked out look on torch red.

But my blacked out lights are LED-when you think about it, look at a stock C5 taillight in direct sunlight. It's not very bright either.

The lights look good to me, I'm hesitant now as I went with the black out kit from corvette mods and now I'm thinking I should have done tint!!!
