The reverse lights look awesome at night, I've seen this truck in person, the pics do not do it justice. Also, the front windows are 2%, I was there when the trooper pulled us over and checked it. lol. Get that 408 in already Eric.

I guess you would have to see it in person used 2% tint in the front (confirmed by state trooper lol) and 2% over the factory deep tint which i guess brought it down to 0% (also confirmed by state trooper) I can see out of them no prob during the day but i guess the tint doesnt let enough light through for the tint reader to pick up... Now is it true 0% idk to me 0% would mean my windows were spray painted lol which mine are not but trust me they are dark...

I used to run 2% tint, but went to 30% to stay legal on front windows and left back window 0% like you and I still have my 2% 6" front windshield strip as well. Just not worth giving the 5-0 any additional reason to pull me over late at night. Got pulled over middle of day, not speeding, swerving nothing and got a ticket just for tint. Not worth the attention imo....looks so sweet though and I definitely miss it.

how did you do the wiring for the reverse lights? does the stock power to the light provide enough power to fire the HID ballast, or did you have to run a power wire back there with a relayed wiring harness?
