headlights

[CALAIS 6]

Hey guy's was just wondering if it is illegal to put any tint on ur front lights.My cars all white and i rekon it would look cool with a small tint on them

cheers

in some states it is i'm from wa i've put tinted headlight covers on mine but i have been pulled over for so i just take them off at night but i think if u dont make them too dark u shouldnt have any problems but in saying they do look rather awsome when u have dark tint on your windows and tinted tail lights.

Yeh man i got berlina so it has tyhe dark tail lights and windows.Was just thinking it would look cool with the front done too

[Bax]

I don't think the police would like it.

Just get some headlight protectors and tint them so they can be removed at night, I don't think theres any reason why you would need headlights during the day so you should be fine there.

if ur talking about spraying them black then yes, its illegal, same goes for colour tints, it effects visibility and "could distract" people. My dad nearly hit some guy who'd put red celephane (budget tint ) over his headlights once, the fog was so bad that he had to follow the taillights of cars on the road and this dudes red headlights looked like tailights. Still, if u want cool looking headlights that are legal and will improve your visibilty, get a HID kit, they have a kind of purple/blue tinge to them. You can see them as standard on some newer cars like BMWs and such. They look sweet, and perosnally i think they look better than tinted ones. But thats just me.

there's a product called nite shades its tint in a spray can its not actually black its very dark red thats wot i used on my tail lights and head light covers and works really well u can still see at nite but cops dont like them at nite i've had a problem during the day and it turns alot of heads if u want that sort of attension i have the hid lights in for nite and do look fairly good but not the same as new bmw and monaros etc.

And Nightshades is illegal.

so i take it headlight protectors would be a good idea then.So if i get any probs i just pop them off

[VLACS]

seems like a waste of time to me...

this has been covered before but anywayz.. really could u be bothered gettin out there every night to change em. i duno wat uze all think but wat about tint stripes on the headlights. not too dark but different. that wouldn't effect em. duno?

[FORSTAIR]

yeah headlight protestors are the way to go dont think police could say much after u pop them off in front of them but they see it as u bein a bit of a smart arse and give u a work order for more stupid like not having mud flaps like they did to me once.

they do look super tough with black headlights theres no denying that, it is annoying to change them at night but thats a price you have to pay.

[Bax]

I honestly think they'd look stupid unless the car was black.

It could just be me but I dont think you can go wrong with brand new headlights, it just looks clean and perfect.

i had black covers for the white vl and they looked unreal. i only ever used them when it was on show and shine down here (small gigs).
too many stonechips to bother with shows now....

i rekon the headlights look better the way they are, but thats one opinion! i got some super bright halogens that change reflection differnt colours from differnt angles, they look trippy at night

[vlv8vic]

brand newies do look good. those white philips ones actually produce less light than regular globes (in case anyone is interested!)

[ucwepn]

I got them white phillips and they are mad especially when out in the bush with hi beam. the old globes were like candles
