Hey everyone! 👋

We’re curious — when it comes to taillights, what’s your go-to look?

Do you like the sleek, stealthy vibe of a tinted lens 😎

or prefer the bold contrast of a standard red lens 🔴?

I have both versions. The tinted ones are almost as bright, it's barely noticeable between the 2 versions when on, and definitely brighter than the stock bulbs, so I say tinted.

Standard, for those of us following! Tinted is blocking the signals/brake lights, night running lights. How many dummies are not paying attention on the road already and dimming the indicators does not help wake them up.

"We know lighting is all about personal style + function" you state. Let's make it about function...we are not alone on the road out there.

Here's my choice installed: Better lighting and visibility and I like the look. I would never obscure the lighting and instead added to it. It's an eye catcher...that was the point whether your eye likes it or not doesn't matter-it works.

It’s all according to the color of the vehicle for me. They look great on the blacked out Gladiator. On my Sarge green I chose the red, I like the way they stand out, instead of blacked out. Just my personal choice. I wouldn’t have a problem running tinted if I felt it fit the color of my Gladiator better, or if I was blacking it out.

I can't see them from the drivers seat, so I stayed stock.

I've stayed with no tint on my Grey. Murdered out black vehicles are cool. I'd do it on my Black XJ. Other than that, I don't care to spend my money to black out my lights.

I'm looking to get the tinted ones I have a white Jeep with a lot of black accents. Black Wheels and all kinds of things Oracle says that with a tent they're still just as bright I don't see how. I did read on the internet someone said they were about 10% less bright but they're still bright. I wish I knew somebody that had a pair of the tiny ones where I could see how bright they were especially in the daytime. Night time you might not have a problem. There's a difference on that white Jeep though the black tint looks really good. Do y'all think it still be bright enough to see in the daytime ? I can't imagine a big company like Oracle would make something like that that could cause problems with being a big company like they are don't you think ?

I guess I kind of feel like even though they're flush mounted with the red on there it just reminds me of the stock ones a little bit. Just wanted to be totally different. I I don't know if somebody could hit me you never know They can do it with them being bright red too. It least they came that way when you buy them. It's not like you tinted them after you got got them that would make a big difference for sure. I wish somebody on here had the tiny ones so they could tell me what they think

It’s illegal in PA….
Not my thing……….and never knew what the purpose was to tint lighting.
If anything, I’ve changed bulbs so the lights would be brighter!! 😉
