i did this on my free time yesterday (10/13/13) and today (10/14/13) i will be putting up more pics as you can see the headlights look like i barely put any tint on them but if you see it in person you can tell but i didnt wanna get them too dark in this pic of the headlights i only did the right side i was about to do the left and also in the pic thats showing both tail lights you can see the black spot where the spray(tint) got on the car yes i used tape but didnt use enough on that part but i did scrub it off the car so it is now gone tomorrow if i have time i will do my fog lamps as well and i will put more pics up soon

^^x2!!! No diminished light output unless you never drive at night.

im not opening the lens for the headlights i dont wanna take it apart and cant get it back together so i rather stick to the way i know how to do it i might end up puting another layer on the headlights though

Why? It's easy! Just diminishing light output painting over the top.

It's easy to someone has done it before haha. It was a little daunting to me at first too but didn't end up being a big deal.

I would tend to agree, though. Tinting the outside diminishes output, painting the inner shroud doesn't. And I'm assuming tinting the outside is also illegal? Sall, can you post a link to the material you use to re-seal them? It is working quite well, yes?

To me it looks like the headlamps aren't tinted at all.

Yea I know imma put more on the headlight lens put in person you can tell the difference though but I seen plenty of cars with tinted head and tail lights and they haven't gotten in trouble yet so I'm not gonna worry bout that

[RCA1186]

I got pulled over for the headlights but never for tinted tails

[renaldo0613]

I can see the tint. Its very light. And that's how I would leave it. You don't wamma take away to much light output. Looks good tho. You could always pull em aprt and plasti dip the chrome housing like I didd mine. You just need window ribbon to re seal the headlamps.

thnx Renaldo i wanted to go over again but i feel as if it will be a lil too much so im not gonna mess with it but i'll check out your pics of how your headlamps look

[sall]

You can see mine are black in my sig pic and awhelages are white in his sig pic.


3M Window Weld Ribbon to re-seal.

This is an update of my taillights they are completely covered with the lens tint i also passed inspection recently with the lights tinted and have had plenty of cops ride behind me and not pull me for anything.

[sall]

... but your insurance won't like you if someone rear ends you Mine are blacked out but my tail lamps are bright as ^%&$*.

[tim1993]
