OEM headlights with side tints

Have anyone tried this item on your TSX headlights?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Acura...24696275QQrdZ1

i personally bought them once, but it was hella cold winter in michigan , during school in college campus with NO tools, no garage, i remember the actualy measurements are perfect, but the fitment isn't so good, since our headlight sides are obviously curved

Trying to fit a flat plastic film onto a curved shaped headlights, I had trouble making bubbles and films being folded here and there.

Since i don't want to open up my headlights and tint the ambers, will cost money and time, i personally think this is the best bet for the money.

anyone with this item?

thanks,

Kind of makes me wonder how these would hold up under washings, ice and snow ect. But it would be nice if it lasted.

I didn't buy these, but I bought a sheet of smoked film from lamin-x.com and cut them out myself. Ive had them on for about 7 months now and they haven't changed a bit.

Here is a pic of mine.

Yea, the fog tint is from laminx too. This is the only shot I have with them on, but it wasn't that dark outside. I need to get yellow bulbs to complete it.

so what exactly did you order from lamin-x? i am trying to piece together some stuff from them and i was just wondering what exact color and thickness you ordered and how much of it.
also did you make a template or how did you do it?
thanks a bunch.

No offense, but I thought with all that fuss a few weeks ago about this sub-forum, it was strictly PERFORMACE PARTS & PERFORMANCE MODIFICATIONS....which does not include non-performance modifications....

which headlight tints seems to fall under. This does nothing in preventing post, especially for those newer to this entire forum who disregard reading the sticky post stating these things, from putting non-perf mod threads up. Just a thought.

I see this thread get the down.








Regarding the tints though, very nice. lol
