2019 ford ranger
Wanting to tint my headlights and taillights on 2019 ford ranger, my ranger is the magnetic grey with black accents so the taillights/headlights would be the final touch. Would like to see some pics of what this could look like. Also how this would effect visibility for taillights in particular thanks

My headlights aren't tinted, I did install factory LED ones though that are mostly black. I did however get my tail lights slightly tinted when I first got the truck. I ordered the blackout package and bright ass red tail lights didn't match the look IMO. It's not super dark, very subtle which is how I wanted it. My friend who works in a body shop spray tinted them for me.

Not dark, very subtle. Still "red" and visible. Looks way better IMO for the look I wanted.

I went with ANZO LED Taillights - Black Smoke Lens. Love the look. Not sure on the headlights. Also added the Third Brake Light Smoked LED Rear Cargo Lamp from Ebay.

Confirm the laws in your state (Or Canadian equivalent), and those you plan to drive in. Most that I've checked have laws against any films/tints on lights.

I also want to be very visible to all the texting drivers out there, so I leave mine stock for full visibility.

I’m aging and want to see where the heck I’m going.

Wow love that light smoked look! Did you have a body shop do it or do it yourself?

I'm also glad to see I'm not the only VW and Ranger enthusiast! I ended up selling my R32 earlier this year for various reasons, but still love Mk4s and the VW scene.

If VW ever brought the Amarok to the NA you'd have the perfect for you truck.

A friend of mine who does body and paint work did it for me. I just had to buy the clear.
