 Looks really good. Is it legal though, could you be stopped?

looks good. I think you'd be very unlucky to get stopped for that. you wouldn't notice in the dark when you've got the lights on. and i guess if you've got some nice bright lights your vision wont be affected too much. I say go for it. its easy enough to remove the tint if you do get pulled up about it anyway |

your hardest problem will probably be trying to get the tint to look like that on the headlights. As i remember seeing another members car with tinted headlights and didn't look like that picture as you couldn't see into the light housing as much. |

am i the only one who thinks the standard headlights look better? your car is a very fresh and clean looking, my own personal opinion is that it should stay standard, then again ive never been one for tinted headlights lol |

No, I have voted but it rather depends on how many bitches you have in your string or how quickly you wish to be arrested on suspicion of something even worse... |

For a really unique headlight tint treatment have a peek at the Redhead Headlights on this web site. Its a great site for unusual motoring accessories, performance enhancements, and laughs. Their cross drilled brake lines are brilliant. http://kalecoauto.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=4&products_id=34 Cheers, bobf. |

At first i thought No, but then after seeing the pictures i think it would look really good, especially if the windows were tinted aswell!
