So my friend though it was a good idea to use DIY tint to make eyelids for his wrx. He had some tint left over so I proceeded to make my own blackouts. It took me about 20 minutes per headlight, and there were still bubbles after squeegeeing 50 times. The flat part of the headlight is really easy, the bubbles start forming around the curved section. It's really unavoidable to not have any bubbles. My advice: DON'T DO YOUR OWN TINT

to each man his own

xizor

doesn't look like much light is going through...

sonnyg80

um ya, to each his own...

but have you driven at night yet with those things on?

clee109

you have to heat the tint around the bends so it stretches into place, that'll get rid of the bubbles. But not a huge fan myself, but deffinately different!

to each his own kind of has its limits...if that is affecting your light output then thats just plain dangerous

I think it would look okay if you would have tinted the sidemarkers only.

Won't that affect the light output from the headlights???

CCColtsicehockey

STUPID, COMPLETELY STUPID, WTF were you thinking. that shit is dangerous

CCColtsicehockey

Audioserf

+1 to the "that is horrible" count

atrain4life

yea, it looks pretty horrible bro.

I guess I forgot to post that this was a temporary thing and I took the tint off after I took pics. The light output was only slightly affected and it seemed bright enough to drive at night since the hid's pierce right through. The pics really don't do justice, all my buddies thought it looked really good in person, but its off now so it doesnt matter...

not feeling at all.

the light output is equivalent to that of a halogen bulb; ie: not dangerous. the tails would be a different story.


stop being such an asshole


thread starter: i would recommend taking it a few % lighter on the tint.


cccccchokey or whatever----stop being a douche.

Harsh remarks. I think if the tint was a little lighter it might look better.

did the cut-off still show up through the tint crisp?

Damned04

Yes it did, the tint barely made an effect on light output since it was so thin
