hey guys i have a '00 TL and i just blacked out my head lights.... putting it back i forgot to put the piece that goes infront of the lowbeam light. it looks like a lense that fits over the casing. do i need to put that? will it affect the lighting and visibility? please help cuz if i dont need the piece i will leave it to avoid opening it back.

 

are you talking about the orange reflector? if so no you don't need it at all. looks good with out them

 

he's talking about the diffuser, you'll be ok, but you risk the possibility of blinding oncoming traffic.

 

I was wondering what the easiest way to go about smoking the head/tail lights would be? Or just take it in to the shop..

 

The lights work better with it and it will be less bright to oncoming traffic with it.

 

gotcha... i actually just installed it back just to be safe... lol thanks for the help guys
