this is just what i wanted to see. i'm wanting to black out the rear on mine in the next week or 2 and didn't know how it'd look with the reverse light tinted. i'm sure it's harder to back up at night though.

are your led tails brighter than the stock lights?

Looks good! I just tinted mine myself a couple weeks ago. Looks better on a Black Monte. I just picked up another set of reverse lights that aren't tinted to swap out. To me it just looks wierd on my red Monte. Are your reverse lights giving off any light that you can use. They look 2 or 3 times darker than mine.

Indeed a GREAT look, especially on a BLACK Monte. The ICPW tail lights look SUPER sharp as well.... I REALLY want a set someday! Indeed it's a great looking setup, keep those mods and pics coming!!

It's my understanding that Flip mixes paint and then clears them, they look factory.

I don't mind, Flip did me a favor and tinted them for free

Yes. They honestly look perfect next to the paint, I couldn't believe how well they blended together.


To all the people who ask me if I can't see backing up, honestly I can't tell ya. Everywhere I park is very well lit in Philly so I never needed my reverse lights. I used to have LEDs in them but those didn't project either, so I'm used to it, and the LED tail lights that I have light up the rear of the car very well.

Thank you for the compliments

You could get the Silverstar reverse bulbs. They are definitely brighter and whiter.
