Side Marker Tint

[cen-tex]

It's a subtle mod that's cheap and fairly easy. And looks great. I did the front and rear side markers and the two on the rear bumper. I also purchased the tail light tint kit but I'm not sure I'll install it.

I think I want to go LED for those.

I very much recommend it as soon as you can. I absolutely despise these stupid side marker lights they keep putting on the Charger. I put aftermarket LEDs on my '16 and it immediately looked so much better. Holding out hope that they'll make some LED ones for the '26 model-- the stock part hasn't changed so the old ones fit, but the car is more picky about the voltage of the aftermarket ones I guess.

If anybody sees ones that work on the '26 model please let me know, I'll be buying immediately.

The tint on the side markers is a nice option too, they're so easy to replace that I'll probably just wait personally. Also my two cents: skip the tail light tint. It's dangerous imo and usually doesn't look all that great anyway.

My understanding is that in the US you are required to have side marker lights, they must be amber in the front and red in the back. The reflectors are not required by any law. As long as there are lights when the car is running, and they are the proper colors, it's perfectly legal.

Now if a cop was to give someone a hard time for having modified side marker lights I would have some very unique words to describe them...

I was a cop for almost 38 years and never had issue with tinted side lights. As long as they light up in the proper colors at night you would be good to go. As an aside , I changed out my 2026 Charger side light already with a set of front and rears, on Amazon (go figure) tinted and LED. Perfect fit, bright and easy to install. No, I didn't make a video but just used their search engine and found them right off. Yes made in China. They light up in a sequence, from one end the other of the light and then stay lit up end to end. Kinda cool looking

Why not just have a tint shop tint them. I did on my Pickup. Later RJD

The reason I bought new was they are much brighter, via a string of LEDs instead of one, and the cost was like $75.00 or so bucks. I suspect tint might scratch easy, maybe a bit to dark and I can't imagine it might not cost the same or more, but I don't know that for sure. Plus I enjoy hands on upgrades. I appreciate your thoughts. Stay safe SV

Actually it's was fairly cheap and you can choose how dark you go and it did not scratch easily. Yours should look nice tho especially with the LED lighting. Later RJD
