New to acurazine

Hello everyone,I recently have purchased a 04 ssm a/t. Since i have been lurking around on here anyway i decided i might as well say whats up and get involved. I have had it for a few months now and Love it which was not a surprise since this isn't my first Acura.

I would stay away from headlight tint. Looks cheap. Trust me, I had it on my car for while.

Tint for the tails doesn't look too bad. Just don't get it too dark.

Holy hell that's dark. I can't say if cops are going to hassle you are not, it depends where you live. You'll get pulled over quickly if you live in VA.

Thanks for the quick response. If you look at the pictures(underneath the main pic) tho when the brake like is pressed id say that seems like sufficient light shining through.

The light output at night isn't a problem, it's the light output during the day. The film may have a glossy finish to it and when the sun hits it, it may block some of the light output of the LEDs.

Unfortunately I can't help you out there man. The tint should come with instructions and if they don't, look it up on YouTube.

Welcome!

I'd recommend just clearing and V2 headlights from JNC. Looks a lot better than tinting them (looks cheap IMO) and at the same time he can do other things to you headlights (CCFL, AUDI LIGHTS, DIFFUSERS, LED SWITCHBACKS).
