Smoked Headlights/Taillights

Shieldze1025 · 01-29-2010, 08:54 AM

So does anyone have their headlights or tailights smoked? I'm gonna get mine done by my tint place, but I'm not sure what % to get. Any suggestions or pics? I'm definitely doing the tails, but haven't seen any headlights yet. Any input is appreciated.

Thanks

Yea I checked it out, I like them. Are all of those pics the dark tint? It says you have a dark tint and a lighter one. Any pics of the difference in the two? How about any pics of the headlights? I'm still not sure about them.

Thanks a lot guys, this helps.

The first E92 tail has the light smoke, I suggest this to prevent issues with cops.

Depends where you live. Most cops would turn a blind eye but might write you up for it if you get caught speeding or something.

what's the average lifespan of the tail tints? and reversible yes?

cuz a friend of mine got some ebay ones that melted on to tail lights over a summer.

8 Year UV protected vinyl, same material as a clear bra essentially.

Hi, I just recently leased a '10 e92 and was looking to light smoke the tails and ran into this thread while searching.

What's the difference, if any between the film and the covers? any difference in color? I've seen a lot of pics that had a brownish shade in the clear areas. This would really irritate me.
