+1 for the Headlight armor kit. I have the 30% smoke. With the lights off it is very dark but I left the light bezels chrome which makes for a good contrast. My tail lights are very easy to see when my parking lights are on and there is no question with my brakes are applied. BTW there are a ton of Camaro specific videos of this product linked on their site with the different levels of darkness.

One thing to note is this is not window tint but designed for this application. The pros is it is much stronger than tint and can even be waxed. So far it has held up great. The negative is that it is thicker than tint and a PIA to install. (side markers were easy.) I took my time and followed the instructions and initially hated all the bubbles (water) under the tint. Over two weeks they worked themselves out and now it looks perfect. Just something to be aware of with this product.

Does anyone perhaps have a picture of a 50% tint or perhaps a little lighter?

I'm trying to make this work nicely with IBM.

Thank you!

Generally speaking the RS option taillights are going to look ~ 1 shade darker then the non RS taillights with the same material applied to both.
