And NO, the changes/mods are not dangerous to other drivers, or myself.
It's probably depending of where you live, cause in the area I live, the first thing the cops are looking for is tinted taillights. Almost no body will take a change to tint thier taillights here. But most of other mods are tolerated.

Oh, dont get me wrong, its very illegal here to tint tails and headlights, as well as have any red or blue bulbs in the front of the car... doesnt stop the ricers from having those stupid led washer jets though.

agreed with your opinion on the fucking AUSSIE RULES WITH CARS

however,i don't think they would pull over a YARIS on the street and get it defected...

I went 150km/h on the street with my friends celica,they caught my friend and let me go, you get what i mean?they would rather get sports car pulled over and defected rather a little car man

Technically, Smoked taillights arent illegal, provided there is still a red reflector on the rear (solved on the old car by partially masking the reflector so it still reflected and wasn't smoked) and provided the light still has adequate output (old car had custom LED tails, i just turned up the duty cycle on the PWM for a bit extra running and braking brightness) And after being pulled over, I proved on the spot to the officer that my tails met all minimum DOT requirements, never got hassled for it again.

that sucks ass for me....cuz i just went to the rta website and create a plate "bc22" and thats 30 upfront fee, and 500 per year. Though if i put 2 more letters at the end. Eg. BC22PP it will cost me 30 upfront, and 160 per year. But i dont even have any other 2 letters thats significant to me.

So im just gonna recreate my plate to Silver Txt on black. 30 upfront, 100 per year.


where in sydney r u ?

Looks awesome! Are your back-up lights different then the US spec Yaris tail lights?? Is that what those little "not as dark" boxes are on the lower insides of the tails?

PLEASE take a night pic with and without the brake on.

Where did you get your film and how much did it cost you?

I was just looking for these on the internet...but the cost is not really what I expected for a tint film.

YES! Looks awesome! You can get film for the headlights from headlightarmor.com, and they are supposedly coming out with film for the tail lights too as soon as they can find a car to work with. 65 bucks for the sedan, 70 for the liftback.
