i bought them and they were crap!!! the taillight overlays flew off the first time I drove at freeway speeds... also I tried to put the ones on the sidemarkers, they don't fit well because of the raised writing on the lights. I ended up throwing them away and went with the Rockblocker film, it's much thicker and has an adhesive on it so they stay on, I've had the current films on for about 3years and no problems. As far as the sidemarkers go, get the type S rear lenses, they look factory and blend perfectly...

Are you trying to save money? They look ok I guess. It's better to save up and get a custom job. JnC does some sick headlight Mod's, Halo's, LED strips, Blacked out, cleared out, diffuser swaps, bulb swaps, you can also get it in different colors like AM and silver.

I think the Film's give you less light output, which suck's IMO.

P.S. cheap Mod's ain't good, and good Mod's ain't cheap. (JnC charges about 150 for modifications, which is a pretty good price and worth it)

I originally got overlays from BlueBatmobile.net-I liked them a lot. But I eventually cleared my headlights and had to take the tints off.

I had tint over half of my headlights for almost a year. It was the worst decision I ever made when it came to my car. Well besides getting wheels and not lowering it

As for the tail lights and sidemarkers, I sprayed them with VHT Niteshadez and then wet sanded them all down. They look good but I'm eventually going to have AckTL05 do a set of tails for me.

Either have the headlights done right or leave them alone. You can get away with the sidemarker and tail light tint.
