tinted headlights...help!
i see that some of the TL's are going with the no amber look these days. pretty clean must i say. i know that there are a few ways to get that look from blacking everything out to purchasing new headlights and even tint. i want to get this done so i can have that look. i currently dont have to bread to purchase new headlights just yet so i guess i'll have to settle for the tint for now. but where can i find those? and how much are they? pictures and links would be great! thanks

it's not a tint.
you open up your headlights by baking them in the oven. then either take out the amber and or replace with a clear diffuser.
you also can paint the housing black or any color you wish.
This is the the actual DIY found in the 3G garage:

And Please whatever you do, Don't use a tint to layover the headlight.
