I tinted the headlights....

Southernace76 · 10-29-2009, 04:32 PM

I installed an hid kit. I felt like they were too bright and didn't want to be "that guy" so I bought a film overlay off ebay for 20bucks. For the price it turned out better than expected. The corner piece was a little small so it has a slight gap but unnoticeable from 5ft away. This actually took care of the extreme glare problem and still provides ample light output. I have not had it on very long so I guess we'll see what the cops think down the road. Let me know what you think, I'm mixed on the new look.

I like the look. I'm sure the glare is reduced aswell big time. But how is the light output now? And durability?

galaxygray06 · 10-29-2009, 07:45 PM

show your gap!!!

Fa5Flex · 10-29-2009, 07:48 PM

Looks good. Would it shrink or melt from the heat of the lights?

looks badass, and honestly here in TN, as long as you aren't an ass, you are good. the only reason they would pull you over for that, is if they think you have drugs or something else

Southernace76 · 10-29-2009, 08:57 PM

Light output for me is still good. I have the 6000k temp. It's only slightly brighter than a normal halogen bulb but still has the color and won't piss anyone off. It doesn't blind you in the face from a distance like before. Should be very durable just like any fog light overlay. You just have to be patient installing this because it bubbles a lot with the curves. I just got them out with a blow dryer and my finger.
