Default spraying some VHT Night shades on the non pop up head light cover

Do you think there would still be enough light to get out or is this a bad idea, I was doing some research and the non pop up head lights look cool but they would look allot better if they were tinted. I was just trying to think of some ways to tint them.

I think to get the look that you're going for they would be too dark. I sprayed my sidemarkers with VHT and they look sick, but you can't see a lot of light through them. Oh well.

Get the headlights. Turn your oven on 200 and stick your headlights in for 10 minutes. That will allow you to pry the lens away from the housing. Spray paint the housing black and reapply the lens. A few friends of mine that have Honda's have done that to their headlights and it looks awesome.

Here's a pic of a friend of mine's car that used that exact same procedure.

Yeah its been awile, hit me up on AIM sometime.

Yes, he has the breathless kit. Like th other guy said night shades is too dark, and I think it would be hard to evenly spray on that big of a curved piece of plastic. Like I said, we're going to look into a light tint to put on
