    Question Tinted VN Headlights

    Has anyone got a set of these?

    http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Holden-VN-com...QQcmdZViewItem

    Or does anyone have a pic of a VN with these?

    I wanna do something about my headlights and im even considerig VZ guards and headlights... But if these look alright its a much cheaper option!

    So whats everyones opinions? Seen them in person before?

    Yea, I have spotted these on ebay before. But I have not seen them on a car before...They don't look that special to me.

    They look pretty good if you ask me. About $80 worth though, not 190. **** that off for a bad joke.

    I like the look of them. They'd probably look nice on a light coloured car, but they are a bit pricey.

    Personally, I would never tint my front lights... I like to have as much light coming out of them as possible... I do a lot of night driving and would want to have to upgrade the stock globes to be more powerful (to get the same visibility) and risk frying the wires...

    except too often its not the globes but the silver reflectors. Before doing this I would have to renew the reflectors. I think that blacking the edges wouldnt seem to change the light?? obivously tinting the glass would.

    Im with Danni on this one, i like them. I might even get me a set of standard ones and perform the task myself. (not buying them though, stuff that)

    I will be getting them next week and trying them out.

    I reckon they'd look better on a white car than a darker colour one.. I like stuff the contrasts, but yet compliments at the same time.

    Bah i think i will just keep the stock headlights.

    I was thinking of VZ guards and headlights... but from what I have seen the VZ guards just dont match up to the VN's very well.

    Its been done 4 times already anyway

    I'm sure you'll think of something different to do....But I like the sound of the VZ headlights/guards.

    i think tinted headlights would also be illegal wouldn't they? cos they would affect the amount of light produce by the headlights.

    i think if you change anything to do with the reflectiveness then yas that makes them illegal but if you dont change the reflecter then its still legal. i dont mind them. would look sweet on my car, just cant justify the price atm
