laminx is great, had my previous car's headlights tinted with it.It will definitely make your headlights dimmer though.

Of course it does. That's one reason why both are illegal in the US.

How dark of tint did you have on it? I was thinking just getting the 6% tint one.

sorry I don't remember, they were all pre cut. I took them off after a while cause I didn't like the fact that it made my headlights dimmer. Here's a pic of it on my previous car

Awesome and very durable for tails. Make sure you do it right though or you'll get bubbles.

Put it on my taillights a few weeks ago. Install was a PITA and I had quite a few bubbles when I was done but they all came out after being out in the sun for a few weeks. They definitely look great.
