IMO Hella is the only option. BTW, it is illegal in many states. I actually really like the stock tails.

 

Have seen an Audi at a meet with film on tail lights and it really really looked CHEAP and inappropriate for our cars, but it is a matetr of taste and also what you can afford.
I do think, SMOKED taillights can look sick on an A6, I think it depends on the color of the car too, but yuo have to do it right. TWO ways and both aren't cheap:
- Hela smnoked tail lights: $260 at ECS tuning
- Paint/Clearcoat by a pro shop: about 250 too and they might thrown inthe side blinkers... I've seen a set done by GMP on a S60R and on a Porsche and Both looked real good.

I'd take the hela and keep the stockies intact.

 

If you get the right person to make the overlays, they work perfect, you could'nt tell the difference. Here is a link to the G35 forum that I'm on sometimes. He makes GREAT overlays, he has one for the A4 tails.

Exactly.

Some people are getting on my nerves. They buy Audi to do what? Make it look like ricer...Why don't they go buy a Mitshu or a Honda civic??

Have you guys noticed recently the kind of questions asked on the forums??

How to get underbody neon light? what do you think of these LEDs worth 2.99 from ebay?? How about cheap led turning signal worth 15 bucks and so on... and now this thread.

I mean...some people just can't understand class. There is a thin line between making your car look good and making your car look cheap.

Look at cars like Gigi...I wouldn't go that far, but his car is nice and looks sharp, his car looks great and something that doesnt look cheap. If you don't want to spend money like him, then atleast don't put stickers and made in china accessories on it.

And for the love of God, don't spoil the image of Audi and make all of us look like Honda Civic owners.

If my post offends some of you, then get offended.

 

I am in 100% agreeance with you nocturnal.... I just dont get some people

 

Yes but like someone said have u seen Smokes like the actual plastic housing or cover unit smoked not a crappy film over it. Depending on ur car color is can look sick! Hella Smokes the only real way to do a tint job without Looking like some jap crap car

 

My dad tinted my friend's s-line tailights and put clearcoat on and it looks good but it was done by a professional painter. Plus his car is black so it looks menacing all blacked out. He put tape over the white on the reverse lights so i 'll admit I like it cuz the white stayed, it looks like the hella's . My a6 is red with the black/wheat interior so its rather classy and I wouldn't do that to mine. Its just personal taste and how ur custom work turns out, if you can't do it cheap don't bother cuz how the guys said it'll look like a flippen srt-4 and quality & taste is what separates us from 'them types'

 

[X(][X(][X(]I can't believe this thread has lasted so long[X(][X(][X(]

[:-][:-][:-]But I quess I just helped it continue[sm=helpout.gif]

I would say that the best way to black out any tail light is to remove the bulb.--How's that for a solution??[sm=badidea.gif]-

 

Trust me bro when u see actual Smoked Tails not just some paint or tint cover ull fall in love..(assuming they go with the color of the car) Hella Smokes are the only tail light customization otherwise like u said we will have a ricer
