I want to do something with my headlights , I was thinking to either tint them or make them yellow....

[epicrock8g]

nightshades definitely looks better. that yello shit just looks like a cloudy as lens. n ot a good look

[Joshua42007]

The nightshades look a lot better than the yellow tint. i dis-like the yellow lens, but thats just my opinion of course.

Why not use headlight tint film?

It will look SOOOOO much better than any spray on stuff.

not to mention the fact that it won't ruin the light output

[epicrock8g]

they dont make a pre-cut overlay for any g before the 9g

[johnygezony]

you gotta cut your own !

[kondypl]

now that we figure out that shades looks better , whats advantage of film over spray and vice versa.... I also wanted to tint my taillights but only top half , like that

NIGHTSHADES

Neither clear lenses ftw.

Neither clear lenses ftw.

x2...light output will suck.

its not the light output that is really affected, but I saw an Audi A4 with yellow tinted lenses and first thing that popped into my mind was Honda or shitty riced old Acura.

and his car is too light for nightshade to really work well.

yes it is. problem with nighshades is that it is a spray and no matter how good you are at putting it on, you will never have a uniform layer of nightshades on the lens.

[glantv699]

If you can find a good tint shop, most of the offer films for the lighting assemblies - if you're going to do it at all, at least have it look professional and uniform as stated before.

[carl3g]

Neither. clear lenses ftw.

This.

Niteshades on a head light is a silly idea to me. Why would you want to dim your lights? The yellow headlights make me think of GT cars or something.

[kondypl]

i dont think that yellow film looks bad at all... I think I like it more that shades because its lighter and it flows with the car..... look up http://www.decalfx.com/yellow_headlight_film.html

Ney and Ney, take them apart and paint the inside black, except the reflectors.

here's a picture that i took more time with photoshop , it looks more realistic and I really like that yellow hue

[03-Galant-ES]

To me it just looks like you got a leak they fogged up you didnt fix it and they got stained yellow. Its just dirty imho.

[Galanttuner10]

just get jdm headlights.. nothing compares.. well my nice new cleared ones are close but they are on their way out 4 the world specs

[Galantes2001]

I agree it looks like the headlights were weathered just keep them clear they dont look bad

[kondypl]

true world specs are really nice.... Im just throwing ideas at you , thanks for all the replys , I do agree that JDM look the best...

[Fresh_617]

imo i agree with everybody else with the weathered look of the yellow...is there a way we could use window tint to tint the lights? just askin

[03-Galant-ES]

I believe so unless they use a different film.

[peanotation]

the light output from our housings is pretty crappy to begin with...anything that would take it down even more would be a waste IMO

[koji464]

That yellow on there dosnt flow with anything, if you had a jgtc race car then ya!

i think you should re-amber your corners(with real amber reflective tape sold on bay), paint the in side housing black, and buff the crap out of your headlights. BTW that amber peice in our headlight is F'n disgusting looking..construction orange and shittt

[RedGalant2k1]

The headlight tinting film can be removed MUCH easier than any spray on stuff. Not to mention like I said earlier, will look MUCH better when done right.

[epicrock8g]

is there a tutorial on headlight tinting

[koji464]

I havent seen a tutt. on this in any how too's..mabey there is but here is a good quick reference ╚Kondypl.

[tylertor28]

those look horrible just go with the black

You have foglights, why don't get them tinted yellow and leave the heads alone?

TO me that just looks like the world famous faded VW headlights that someone peed on.
