The decision is torture me for sometimes now, and I need your help! Here is the situation:
a) to lose a little brightness (barely) and the light turns little yellow/brownish color (similar to OEM regular headlight color 9006 bulb, not HID stuff) but gain beautiful/pimp look with rockblocker tint headlights, or
b) Have a stock bright white HID looks with no headlight tint or blackout?

I want my car has the black theme since I already put on rockblocker taillight tint, but not doing anything to the headlight yet. I put on the rockblocker tint on one of the headlight tonight to see what it looks like at night, and I must say I kind of like the look. The only draw back is the color of the light looks just like stock OEM 9006 bulb. Do you think it worth the sacrifice?

Here is the looks of the 3rd Gen TL with rockblocker headlight tint


and here is my car:

me personally would black it out.. i dont think it will look as good as the 3rd gen and it may look a tad bit over-done

blackout for sure. tinting the headlights will be a little too much. btw, i'm going complete black theme as well with my NBP :thumsup:

Just black out your headlights.

black out the headlamps. i think you should keep it all blacked out and looking stealth..

there's so much going on, on your rear man.. my eyes are being boggled aroud. Apexi, type-s, inspire, A, mugen, american flag, Acura TL Type-S license plate.. haha

i guess if you like it, great.. but i think it'll look sick if it was straight blacked out. all around. youre lucky that you have an NBP Type-s man.. i would keep it clean and stealth lookin.

my TL is completely smoked....i made the mistake of getting the normal tint for the tails...if i were u...i would get the darker tint for the tails....its a little too red for my taste

TLsu

I got the darker tint, the 35%, and it fades, just like lacviets did. He did have thge lighter to begin with.

sorry to crap the thread but are there picture comparisons of the lighter and darker taillight tints?

LacViet

I scare to do the blackout and I don't want to spend more than $100 buck for professional job I might just put the rockblocker tint on and see what happens. If I doesn't like it, I just have to take it off.

Normal taillight tint is good for me. I don't want to attract too much cops



Here is one of a pic that taken just after the install.

TLsu

Lacviet has the 20%(in this case lighter) tint. I have the 35%, the darker tint.

But he does it very tastefully. He could have easily gone with a big ass Apexi and Mugen stickers/badges. I love the subtle modded look of your rear!

Using the rockblocker tints wouldn't look quite right because your fogs would be untinted. If you tint all the fronts - headlights and fogs, then from the side, you'd have the exposed rear turns. You might also consider eyelids in black to customize the front without reducing your headlight output. I guess I'm jsut trying really hard to get you to blackout/clear your headlights because it'd look so pimp.

LacViet

Let me post some pics tomorrow at the So Cal meet and see if it looks good on the car or not
