headlight and foglight tints done
hi there peeps, I tinted my headlights and foglights, I had my foglights done before but changed the colour this time around.
I did the work my self if you look at picture 1 and 2 you will see how dark the tint was. I didn't think it would of been that dark and I didn't really like it. so I thought I will leave the tint on till it gets dark so I can see how much light shows on the road. none at all you couldn't even tell that I had xenon lights on lol. in picture 3 you can see the lighter tint on the left side and darker tint on the right side. picture 4 is the car all finished with the lighter tint with the lighter tint you can see much better.

I think I may tint my front and back lights but going to make sure that the tint is very light as I have halogen headlights so don't want to reduce any visibility plus I got white halo rings which might not look white anymore after tinting lol

If you look at picture one and two I think they would be mot failure as I couldn't see any think and with the lights on it was worse then halogen. I tint my back lights ages ago and my side indicators they look sooo much better It will give your car different look. But if does reduce your visibility then you can get some brighter bulbs

Sorry but I think it looks pretty terrible IMO.
The car looks awesome! Love the colour!!! I had tinted headlights resulting in poor visibility. Do it right and open up the headlights and black out the internals. Well be much better! Nothing against tinting the rear. Could look really good with a light tint. |

Your car looks great but the headlight tints look wrong. Open them up and blackout the internals. |

Basically fly eyes is a mesh of tint, allowing the light to pass through. But you will notice that it is pretty ugly stuff too.
This is how my headlight looked after blacking it out and installing LED Angel eyes. I used to have lamin x, and it doesn't have anything on these. |
