Headlight Tint

[H17YD_L]

Thought i'd have a go at tinting my headlights so bought some vinyl that was advertised for headlights here's the pics,

Before:

After:

I was quite proud of my work but thought it was pretty black and pretty think whilst applying but continued as it was only a couple of quid, thought i'd get the practice lol, so i turned the headlights on, bearing in mind i've got HID's it was as if a candle was in the headlight, here's a pic with the indicator on:

Very dim so i removed it and have now ordered some other stuff thats smoked not black, at least i've had a go and now know i can do it, roll on the new stuff!

Ha ha that is very dark mate!

Did you have a look at Lamin-X?

[Fatbloke]

That is black

[gadgetman]

That is black

Looks like a police fine too black to me.

[apmaman]

Aha!

Bit too dark. Makes the car look evil though.

[Leon-y-k]

Haha!! It does look great! shame the lights are non excitant through it!

would window tints work you recon?

[H17YD_L]

Ha ha that is very dark mate! Did you have a look at Lamin-X?

Yes mate but this stuff was £2 for enough to do both lights and the new smoked stuff i've ordered is £4 odd. If this newer stuff looks ok but starts to come off, might get the proper stuff.

definitely lol might as well drive round with a sign saying pull me!

Does look good in an mean looking way

Think this is similar, it all depends how much light it will let trough, i think the new stuff i've ordered lets 80% through

[jonny boy]

You WILL be pulled over (and rightly so) for having that on

[VRS-Powered]

Ahhhh ok, for those prices it's worth a punt first

[ChrisRs]

What do they say? "Epic Fail?"

[Funky Fab]

Just the top 3rd of the light tinted would have looked good to follow in line with the black grill surround.

[vRSy]

Haha, quality

I want to do something like that, but I'm better with big bolts etc lol.

Quite like the look of the monte carlo in back and white, wander how much of that is available to literally bolt on to the vRS

Ooooo eerrrr Si

I know the black lights are about £100 each, not too bad considering the price of some headlights!

But the only problem is the difference between the H7 of the chrome an H4 of the black pack

Dunno about the monte, they're probably the same lights?

would have a read at the lighting section in that before "tinting" the headlights

Monte uses H7, or at least mine does.

I like! Looks futuristic sort of like a concept car. Shame it is not practical/safe.

Got to be one of the funniest posts I've seen in ages ....

The new mot looks like it's the end for Halfords-lad-lenses. Boo-hoo wail sob moan.

[Bullyboy]

Nice try but a bit dark !

I do like the offical vRS black pack headlights though.

[H17YD_L]

I'll get it right soon lol
