My driver side headlight leaks and has water drops and fogs on the inside after even the slightest wet weather event. Rather than take the unit out and pull it apart and reseal and reinstall I thought I might just tint the outside light covers charcoal.

Has anyone tried this???

 

Not legal, & it's not going to solve your problem. But you can do it. There are a few who have done it.

 

they got other colors other then just smoke tint. its not hard to do just need soapy water and a hair dryer. credit card or flat piece of plastic. go to
http://www.headlightarmor.com/ it gots all u need and they are cut out for the headlights .

 

well tinting it will not solve the leak. either way u do it to tint or to seal i have to get the headlight off. they also got other colors other then smoke.

not too hard once off use some clear rtv to seal around. then soapy water and a squeegee and a hair dryer to put the tint on and u can knock them both out at once.

 

Fuzzy,

I reside in Lauderhill so I am a SF guy also. I would like to clarify, it is not legal to tint the headlights in the state of Florida?

 

Right, same with headlight covers. Will you actually get ticketed? Maybe, maybe not.

 

Ah yes, but if you have my luck, I wouldn't put much faith into the "maybe, maybe not" theory.

 

My Cl is red and sticks out in traffic without any headlight tinting. On occasion I have been known to push the envelope with regards to Florida DOT statutes and speed limits. It would appear that tinted lights would just add fuel to the fire.

This has been an ongoing issue now since I bought the car three years ago. There must be an easier way to fix the leak other than pulling the headlight assembly out which appears to be an all day project.

If anyone has a suggestion for an easier fix I would be grateful.

 

Did it to mine bro..Granted it might look cool and all, but the cops stare so hard at you and night time driving blows..I blacked mine out because of the same problem. Now hearing everyone tell me "oh the cops are gonna be messing with you" and having the cops always stare at me I just gave in and bought new headlights and tails off ebay. They are actually in the mail as we speak..I hope at least..

 

Oh yeah, and keep the comments on the ride height to a minimum haha..She'll get dropped soon..I have a baby on the way so money goes there first..

 

Blackout treatment does look trick...

 

sick.
