Anyone tinted their headlights/foglights?

I was going to buy smoked tint for my headlights.
Either dark blue or black smoked tint?

Do anyone have any tint on their car?
I would like to see what it looks like on aN AMG

Found this link from ebay, it looks pritty cool with black tint on headlights

I had it for a little a few years back. looks bad imo, we don't have clear lenses so it is more of a cloudy black and really diminishes light quality.

+1 keep away from the tint. Our Queens don't deserve it

i have a 3mm clear film on my headlights and foglights protecting from stone chips.
maybe MOT shop won't approve using darker tint on headlights?
I have to ask MOT shop tomorrow what they say about it?
maybe Five-0 won't like it either with darker tint?

I can see 5-0 pulling up behind you and for a millisecond, you consider trying to out-run them. Very quickly you come to your senses and pull over to the side and try to talk yourself out of a ticket.

I found an old picture of Dennis in the forums...

Jacked these pictures from another website. What do you think? Recently one of my yellow bulb fog lights died, also I never got them as yellow as I wanted them. I think the yellow really makes the xenon headlight pop. What do you think?

In the past, all vehicles in France had yellow lights. The headlights was mandatory yellow. The spots or fogs could remain white. You still see them around today on old cars, so I imagine you can still purchase yellow bulbs.
In the Le Mans 24h race, I believe the GT3 series run yellow lights...

I kind of like this. (Also jacked from another forum). He said he used something called night shade. I don't know if it is permanent.

VHT Nightshade, yes it's permanent. I used this on my Jeep a few years back. Only downside is that the light emitted is decently diminished. Could probably combat that with some led replacement lights.
