Hey I was almost taken out back and hung when I mentioned I added leather interior and heated seats to my Prius....so suggesting that one tint their taillights is really way out there.... apparently. But you are right, tough crowd! Good luck.
The '04 & '05 models came tinted (see below) so ... what can I say.

I'm in the process of testing the smoke film for the tailights. Bought a small piece of 92% light transmission (8% darkening) along with the carbon fiber film for the front/rear emblems which are completed. I tried one of the smoke film pieces on the right rear side reflector lens - first pic. 2nd pic is standard.

Not sure if it's worth the effort as the tailights have the concave curve. The film does allow for some curving, but would need to be two pieces - one side as I have done and the rear. During my test, the light transmission is just fine - does not mask out too much (thus probably no "law" issues.

I'm not a fan of the white/chrome large '10 lights, esp against a darker car color. Still contemplating if I should do it. Yea / Nay???

Dean, I agree with you. I recommend smoking them a little more. You can barely tell the difference in those pics.

I'm trying to grow the nerve to paint my taillights all red. What I was thinking of doing is adding a little red paint to clear coat and do the whole tail. Still deciding on that.

Bino,
I totally loved your tail lights, so I copied yours!
Red/Light Smoke/Red. I'll do the 3rd light next.
Thanks for the tip!
