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

you gotta cut your own !
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

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.Quote:

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
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.
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
I agree it looks like the headlights were weathered just keep them clear they dont look bad
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...
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
I believe so unless they use a different film.Quote:

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
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.
is there a tutorial on headlight tinting
I havent seen a tutt. on this in any how too's..mabey there is but here is a good quick reference ╚Kondypl.
those look horrible just go with the black
You have foglights, why don't get them tinted yellow and leave the heads alone?Quote:
