slight tinting in the headlights creates massive amount when you turn them on, ive seen it first hand in my mates car only last night. yeah it looks tuff during the day but its straight up dangerous at night, vision is only maybe 30 to 40 meters or so. i strongly recommend you not doing this unless its a show car and never gets driven. try it with a spare pair first then make up your mind for whoever wants to give it a shot.

Cops will still ping you for it even if they are removable.

head light covers are the same as the ugly black things that you find on the back windscreen of old peoples cars... both should be made illegal cause they are that ugly. just my opinon anyways. cops can canary brand new cars that havent even left the factory so if they wanna get you they will, dont give them a reason such as tinted headlights ;)

saw a light blue xr6 one day and the tail lights were painted the same color... what the??? was thinking how long before them tail lights see some blue and red ones. interseting to look at but not nice

Take the glass cover off and make up some angel eyes, its simple to do and looks good.

I will in the coming weeks but heres a quick guide.
Remove glass off the headlights.
Buy some 3-4mm clear tubing.
Buy 8 blue or red leds.
Buy some latex tubing to fit inside the 3-4mm tubing.

Measure out how long each piece of tubing needs to be to circle around the lights, also measure and cut thr latex tubing to match.
Get the latex tubing and slice it 3/4 the way through every 1-2mm along the whole length.
Slide the slit latex inside the tube/
Attatch one led to each end of the tube.
Wire up and attatch the tubing to the housing and presto angel eyes.

The latex acts as a neon sign type thing and projects around the tube, looks good ive seen it on someones car here. Ill see if i can find it.
