Tinted front headlights

Ok thinking of getting my front headlights tinted in yellow....What do you guys think? It's fairly inexpensive and I could always take it off easily if I wanted. This film is the best quality and being done by some of the best installers here in San Antonio...... Just trying to get some thoughts and pics if anyone has had this done. Thanks

This is really a color dependent question, so it could work nicely. And again, being a vinyl/film, there's nothing wrong with trying something new as they're easily removed..

IMHO, tinting your xenon equipped C63 with a yellow tint is very tacky. Cheapens the look of the car.

If you already have lighting package, keep stock smoked look. Everyone loves them. Especially Lancer Evo IX fans, lulz.

Yep the more I think about it I think that is what I will do. I wasn't going to be that expensive and I was just curious about how it would look.

It will look cool but everyone will think you're German hiding from Allied bombers. Also if you weave through traffic at night, the state police can easily see you comming in the rear view mirror.
