Smoked headlights tint with Rockblocker on NBP

For those who wonder, here is the pics of smoked rockblocker headlights tint on NBP. The foglights are/might/possible off in color a bit, but it looks better with yellow tint than not tint at all. Possible will get a set of smoked rockblocker foglights tint to se how it looks, but probably too dark in the front. I'm still undecided whether to leave it on or take it off. It certaintly has distinct looks, but probably not the best looks. What do you think?

With headlights and foglights ON


Pics are taken at SoCal Feb 19th meet

honestly, take off the yellow on the dipperz, looks fruity, maybe tint them black, if not put in hids if u can, but other than that, great job, thats a sexy ass car, maybe u should even remove the amber from the headlight

Ever consider blacking them out instead? I think it would look much better. Regardless your car looks awesome.

Though don't turn them on unless you need to. The vinyl doesn't handle heat very well.

I would suspect that most of you would not like it! Opinion noted

The dilema is that I'm too scare to do the blackout headlight by myself and don't want to spend money for the shop doing it. Blackout might be the only good choice. I might consider doing it in the future, but for now, i'm leaning toward leaving smoked headlight on.

Yellow fogs are little out of color and not goes with the flow. I might order the smoked foglights, but don't want to throw away my yellow 9006 bulbs (only one week old). Do you think smoked foglights will make the car looks too dark?

I know thats the look your going for, all black, with your tinted tails and now headlights. But, I always thought that the headlights on this car really look unique and make the front end stand out from all other Ac's or Honda's so I'm gonna say I don't particularly like the tinted headlights. Now on the other hand if you bought an extra pair of headlights, opened them up and painted them black, that would look killer on your car. Instead of covering up the depth of the inside of the headlight. I also like the stock clear/red tails instead of your tinted ones cuz they go well with the red S on the Type-S emblem. But thats just me. If your going for the all balck look, tint ur fogs and see how it looks, it's worth a try. Maybe buy a used set and open them up and paint the inside black. How about even painting the chrome on your grill black?

I personally like the yellow fogs, it gives some kind of contrast.

I like it because it is different.....so many people have cleared/blacked their headlights.....my TL-S is NBP as well and I am considering getting the smoked film from X-Pel for both my headlights and fogs.......nice job.

I still have my smoke tailight tint in the box it came in. Not sure if I still wanna put it on.

Blackedout housing on the headlight is definately a sick look.

I don't think you need to do anything else on your ride. It's absolutely one of the kind. Awesome job on the mods.
