Has anyone ever thought of tinting there headlights? I've been wanting to smoked headlights but nobody really carrys them, and they dont come in xenon style.

I've been reading about other cars who have tinted there headlights and it looks awesome....I wondering what it would look like on a black benz....I wonder if it would eve work with our lights lol....What do you guys think?

 

I'm not sure if you can tint acylic and if you can, if it will last. I know you can tint glass without any problems but acrylic . Maybe you can use that spray-on tint like they use on plastic convertible windows but it's sometimes a little cloudy looking...

 

Im going to read more about this and see what they used

 

I found that there is a tint made just for headlights and taillights....I found some but it was blue (yuck).....I found a car on cardomain that has the black tint but i dont know where he got it from...I am bound to find out how to do this hehe.

 

Would you be applying from the outside or from the inside??? I would be afraid of it being peeled off from rocks chips and such...

 

inside for sure..I can't find anymore info on this stuff

 

Well, you said you found the blue stuff, who is the manufacturer?

 

I've seen stick-on films with a slightly reflective psychodelic tint (i.e. multi-colored and changes with the angle you look at it). They're available here in HK if anyone's interested.

 

Sounds a little to cheezy for me but maybe they have tinted ones by the same mfr. Next you'll be tinting your windows with that rainbow, metallic sparkle looking tint and applying a "Cruising" sticker to the back window...lol...jk...

 

Actually it's mostly a light purply color - many guys do it on the 4WD's here.

BTW, you forgot to mention the Peace and Smiley stickers

 

Paint them. I've seen the rears smoked (painted) on many cars. I'd guess that the same can be done to the headlights. Can't be removed though.

 

Is the paint going to be able to take the heat? Better with HID Xenons maybe?

 

That was my suggestion exactly but the taillights don't get any heat when compared to the xenon headlights. I am wondering if the paint will end up blistering and bubbling up. That will be a big mess...

 

Pissing Calvin sticker in HK maybe also? Hmmmmmmm.....

 

I never thought of the heat. I'll ask someone who might know the answer.

 

What's a "pissing Calvin"? From the sounds of it, I'd love to have one or two Pics please.....

 

Here is one...

 

and another...

 

Luv em', I'll take a dozen!

 

 

Is this the look you are trying to acheive?

I bought a tint spray and tried it on my previous car.

 

That looks good...I wonder if you do the front like that will you be able to see my headlights lol....Also I have the xenon kit, will this hold the heat?

thanks

 

The stuff will hold without question. It is specifically made for this application. But tinting you actual headlamps does hinder light output, even though it didn't that much when I did it. But, it did some...

 

I did also clear coat after the tint.....

The tint spray lasts, but reapplication would be necessary on say a yearly basis or so...

 

sweet...where can I buy this at?
