headlight overlays?

fg2churppin · 12-16-2009, 07:24 PM

so i have the grafixpression tail light over lay
i wanted to get it for the headlights too but they dont have it..
the only one i have found so far are these

Honda Civic Coupe (2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010) Headlight Covers

kinda pricey though, anybody know of any other places that have them?
and also please post pictures if u have it on ur car!
thanks guys

You can try a local tint shop see if they have the color you want and put it on yourself. That's what I did for my fogs.

Do you mind posting a picture of your taillights? I'm thinking on doing them too.

OH SNAP thats right!
but where is he located?
does he have this stuff pre-cut?
the tint in the civic pictured is too dark i would go lighter..

i have pictures of my car in my photo album if u want to see the tail lights.
theyre great i bought them from
GrafiXpressions - Express yourself in vinyl form!...

also i wouldnt go to a local tint shop because window tint doesnt work well to the part of the car, only for windows.
i tried to do that to my roof but u need a viynl, its much more thicker and wont ruin ur paint.

fg2churppin · 12-17-2009, 05:46 AM

heres a couple of them

taffy07si · 12-17-2009, 12:16 PM

I hope you either have HIDs or retros....tinting the front lights will greatly reduce night visibility with halogen blubs. FIY!

bencho · 12-17-2009, 12:43 PM

If you spend $XXXX on Retros... why in God's name would you go and kill their light output?!?

fg2churppin · 12-17-2009, 06:32 PM

yeah if i had retos i wouldnt tint my head lights
but yes i do have 6k hids and yellow fogs
but i was thinking if the head lights were tinted, the fogs wouldnt, and i dunno how that would look..

blue bats from San Diego. send him a email with what you want and he will send you a invoice, you pay, then he ships it out. yeah its pre-cut. you install it yourself like you did the tails

that looks really nice!
except here in cali
that would get me pulled over lol
im trying to go a bit lighter then that.
do u have hids?
how is it at night with that level of darkness?

p1904 · 12-17-2009, 07:00 PM

that car isnt mine. i was just trying to show you examples. nor do i have the headlights tintd so i dont have a clue on visibility with hids

bencho · 12-17-2009, 07:16 PM

I've had 3M dark tint on my black. Check my 2009 Fa5 thread for the first pictures with it. Looked very sleek but if you have halogens or just PnP HID, you're getting zero light output.

I'm in San Diego, though I do have installers nationwide. Email me if interested

my cuzin has his headlights tinted on a nissan altima with factory HID's and it looks pretty bad... i think the only reason there is any light in front of him is because of his HID fogs...
