I mean it looks cool, but I never understood why people would want to tint their headlights. Why make your lights perform shittier just for looks?

Why pay for an illegal mod that reduces performance when your trim is worn to shit?

^You forgot the red text.



I just wish the picture was of good enough quality to determine if that is plastidip on the wheels or not.

I like when the INSIDE of the headlight is all black, but I despise tinted headlights and non-factory tinted tail lights. Like shy severely cut down on your visibility both forward and from behind to look cool? Why give insurance a reason to weasel out of your claim.

I personally like tinted headlights and taillights... But they have to be very light... Just enough to make the bright red look more burgundy, and make a silver headlight look "slightly" smoked... I have a black grille on my RDX, I'm smoking the front lights just slightly to give it a "dark vador" look....

And my protective headlight film has worn off... I want to cover it before it yellows much...

I know they can be buffed, but they never look right...

I like it some!!!
