You have already seen smoked taillights, but have you seen smoked headlights? Weather finally got better so I could put my smoked kits on. The headlights look good when off, but I MIGHT cut the part that covers the HID and the fog just so I don't lose any light whatsoever. It doesn't take away much, but it might be best... give me your opinions.

I'll try to take better day pics tomorrow, it started getting dark so I couldn't really.

Hard to say how good it looks because of the lighting; I can say that I would never sacrifice seeing for being seen.

Wow, pimptastic is all I gotta say. I think if you cleared out your head light by taking out the amber-ish part it would complete the look, but I like it, looks stealthy!

Lokius

looks great, I still prefer properly smoking the amber section, and leaving the rest normal though..

I like it, I do agree it would look even better smoked plus cleared

t-dogg

Yeah, the orange does look outta place doesn't it? Oh well, best of luck whatever you do with that sweet sweet automobile.

Looks good....

I agree that it looks great...I would probably not smoke the areas through which light from the headlights and foglights needs to pass...

Smoked is a real preference thing. They are not for everyone, but will change the light output that you are seeing with. I PM'ed you back so let us know.

Looks good, I like it!

The HIDs definetly do suffer, I'm going to try something different, part smoked, part something else, stay tuned

cM3go

Updated: Did some modification, turnsignals are still smoked, but not the HIDs and the foglights, I like it!

Thanks you sir

So did you simply cut out part of the film??....

Looks Good

cM3go

Yup, I was thinking about putting blue film where I cut out the smoked film, but I think it looks great this way as is.

Man, I was gonna hit you upside the head next time I saw you for smoking the entire headlight but it looks like you came to your senses. Now it looks clean.

ctlgo what % was that on the front.

Thanks,

According to Rockblocker, I believe its 20%, which is opposite of how tint is rated, I guess you would rate this (in tint terms) as 80%? Check with Rockblocker to be sure.

will smoking the headlights affect the HID lights that much.. or is it a small difference? What if i smoked the headlights, and got 6000k HID bulbs which should be brighter so i wont really loose much light since i got a brighter bulb rite?

First-6000k are not brighter than OEM 4300k.

Second-Light output will obviously diminish if you put a tint layer on it. Probably not to the extent where you cant see anything at all.

Third-Why would you bump a 3 year old thread for a question like that. Just search, many threads discuss this.

sprtstr012

ok 6000k arent brighter, and are they dimmer? or are they basically the same brightness as the 4300k?

ballinfizzle89

iTrader: (6)

4300k has a higher light output

sprtstr012

so if i put the 6000k hids and tinted them my lights would be a lot dimmer? i dont think it would be that much of a difference, mayb a little dimmer but not much idk

sprtstr012

can u post some more pics please. If i took my car to the tint shop and asked for smoked headlights i could just tell them to cut out a shape just for the turn signals and leave all of the HID lights open? is that what you did?

sprtstr012

do u think smoking just the signals is better looking than smoking the entire headlight?
