A new set of lights are not cheap so unless you are going to do it to your own or get some from a salvage yard it's probably smarter to go LEDs.

Can you buy nightshade in a store location or is it just online?

did a little research and some people had found it on Autozone and Pepboys. I would just call your local stores and see if anyone carries it.

It looks like every auto parts chain carries it. Anyone know if I can get away with tinted tail lights in Florida?

You have to check Florida Law. Michigan states the light emitted must be red and visible from 500 ft. I think Jay (JX3) looked it up for Florida once.

Well, it emits red. Never measured out 500 ft to see Haven't been pulled over for it in over 2 years so I'm guessing it's okay. I'm still trying to figure out how to get me some legal front window tint. Know any Michigan Eye Doctors

I do know a few eye doctors... I wonder if I could qualify, I am almost technically blind. I need to go for a checkup anyways, i know they have gotten worse again.

You could use liquid crystals and tint the fronts electronicaly, then if you get pulled over just flip the switch and say
