Thinking of tinting my headlights to match my tails and rear markers. I used a light smoke tint in the rear and would do the same to my headlights and turn signals. Looking for pics of cars with this done because I don't like the pics I've found online. Thanks in advance

 

Honestly this is just a bad idea and probably illegal, why compromise your headlight illumination for a tint? I don't think you'll find anyone who has done this on here. You might find someone who has applied a clear 3M vinyl but that's about it.

 

sorry, tinting head lights and tails is a trend from 1999.
keep 1999 fads in 1999.


also, EWWWWWWW if you go through with it, as it looks ewwwwww

 

Tinting the headlights is like pooing in the underwear. Somethings are meant to let out, not contained inside .

 

Don't 09-11 cars have chrome headlights? 12-14 have black housings and would probably accomplish the same look.

Definitely illegal in my state and serves what purpose? Less light output? Genius.

 

Better off looking in the 3G section. I've seen it before but not on the 4G.

 

Typically, I say this is a bad idea.

But if you're going to do it, you need to go all out and do it super dark. Like opaque, no light output, dark.

That's gangsta.

 

That's my friend's ride

 

The guys doing this sort of stuff are going to hate their life if they ever get in a wreck and find out their insurance company will not cover them.

 

 

And do the front windshield too in the same way.... in addition to wearing super dark sunglasses at midnight. ...... Cool. .

 

Don't listen to these guys...they're just jealous. But I think I can save you a few bucks. Why tint, when you can just get a can of paint? A former member here did something similar, and I think he was really pleased with the result. Check out the link to his post: "Spray painted my fog light"

Word of advice, though...it likely is illegal, so only drive at night. Police can't catch what they can't see.

Long live the ninja car!

 

Once you tint your headlights, be sure to buy some 55k ballasts! because MOAR BRIGHT!!!

why you need more bright?


Because you just fucking tinted your headlights like a dolt..

 

When they finally burst into flames, you can actually see pretty well for a couple seconds.

I tinted my headlights/tails and they came out great on my 4G;2010. Always get tons of compliments as well.

 

Post some pictures for the OP. That's what he is looking for.

 

These compliments you speak of... do they occur sometime after school ends and the high school kids are walking home?

 

 

to each their own.

there are better ways of achieving the desired look.
clean and classy modifications are hard and rightfully so..

my idea of modding is function over form....if it doesnt have some sort of function, why bother doing it? the whole point is to improve not step down..

think of it this way, execute mods that would have come from the factory.
you can modify the insides of the headlights by performing surgery to achieve the desired look.

or if you are not good with your hands, you can pay a service to someone!

 

Send them to JNC if he's still doing them. Have him modify them from the inside.
Tails, I never understood...they make the biggest visual statement on the back of the car and tinting them (especially on a dark colored car) takes them out of the equation and makes it look like a big blob with no definition.

 

OP - while you are at it, remove your wipers and drive in the rain too.

 

Rain-X!!!!

 

Negative, SICKO everyone doesn't hav perv stories to tell.

 

Will do, pics coming shortly.

 

lol...compliments on car from high school kids = pedo?

 

He didn't say "pedo" he said "sicko".

Like, " sick mods, bro". The kids probably just shorten that to "sicko" these days, u no, 4 txtn n stuff.

And "perv stories" just means like "cool stories". I think the kids started using "perv" after they couldn't get "fetch" to catch on.

 

That is what I meant bro, jus a lil humor. I will post pics in a few, just finally getting out for the day.

 

he don't know you too well, cul0

 

I can see how "sicko" could translate to "pedo", but struggling to see how "perv stories" translates to "cool stories."

Anyway - can't wait to see these perv sicko tinted headlights.

 

 

Looks tots perv, sicko!

 

Thanks Idavi29 for posting your pictures for OP since that's what he was looking for.

 

So what y'all think of my tinted heads nd tails?

 

Honestly, it looks pretty good, but think the color of your car makes it. I'm not sure all colors would look as good. Now with that being said, its sad to see that your fog lights look like they would be brighter than your headlights. Do you have any night shots showing / comparing / contrasting light output?

Function > Form

 

Yeah, lumen output would be my only concern. ON a light colored car, it doesn't look as bad as I'd imagined.

 

I will take a few shots on my WY to work tonight and post them. Honestly, they headlights are a shade darker than the fogs, but that was what I was goin for. As for driving at night, at first they were dark but lighten up over time, I love the look though.

 

I think he meant darkness in comparison to output...not the actual darkness when looking at them with the lights off (low vs fog)

 

That looks so tacky and cheap. I'm immediately teleported back to my high school days when a friend of mine bought these for his 94' Mustang.



You guys supporting or encouraging this need a CT scan. If you want to make your 09-11 headlights look darker just upgrade to the blacked out 12-14 TL headlights and call it a day.

 

.....CT scan.

 

Common Sense says: Function over form, Always!
