Demo reel video of my smoked headlights.
So I made a demo reel of my smoked headlights and thought I would share it with you guys.
If your in the LA area and would like to go shoot some video footage let me know. I'm gonna start making a legit video of my/friends cars.

Nice. I like the slight tint, not to much, not to little. How did you do this? I'm wanting to tint my taillights and can't decide between a spray or tinting film. I'm leaning towards the film or just having a professional shop do it.

They look awesome. I thought you painted the housing :P
Paint them...it's really not hard if you've had little experience in spray painting... go to a hobby shop and buy the "Tint" spray can. It's the spray paint they use to tint the toy cars. Wet sand your tailights and clean it off very well. Spray evenly a couple of layers and let it dry. Then buy some clear coat spray from home depot and give it a couple layers. DONE

I used the film, I like the fact that I can go back to stock anytime. On taillights I would go the painted route since you would notice the film up close. On the headlights you really can't tell I have a film on since the surface is pretty flat.

Looks great!! I love the look of tinted headlights, but I like them VERY light, OEM style (like the C63 and now 212 E63 headlight tint hue).
I might be interested one day, I'll try and save your SN on this Site to remember if that day comes.
