Overpriced and in bad shape, plus, you'll need a silver CTS-V to use them, since the guy painted the eyelids and washers silver.

They look good IMO but I agree on them being in bad shape.

Why the F would anyone tint their headlights? Do people actually like not being able to see at night?

I tinted the set on my old car I had murdered out. All my lights were smoke and it sucked ***** at night. Never again! I painted the trim black on the ones on this car and smoked the amber section of the fogs but not tinting the lense again! I think the tinted lense looks nice but not worth it to look slightly better but lose almost all of your lighting at night.

Put VERY bright tail light bulbs in.

Depends how you do it. My LGT had Lamin-x smoked filmon it. Darker but you could still make out the lights.

I won't even post a pic of mine. They're pretty dark. The ones on my old car were black. Told my guy to do these quite a bit lighter and they still came out dark. I mean you can still see em in the day ok and they are perfect at night but they are a little on the dark side.

That's bad ***! That's the same look mine have. All they do is mix black paint in some clearcoat and shoot the lense. Then they buff it out to that glossy shine where it looks black but is still transparent. Looks really good!

I agree. I'd smoke your third brake light and reverse lights and leave just the side tails red. That's how my old car was done for awhile and it looked really nice.

Yeah... Don't use that ****. Always seems to have a flat type finish to it. I like mine nice and glossy so when the light are illuminated, they don't look fuzzy at all from paint spray. Just clear but darker.

Well maybe the difference is clearing over the VHT but the VHT alone leaves that dull flat finish on the lenses.

Yea it might be in the thickness of the coats tho I did thin on my v and it was dull then one thick and it got shiny ... But it faded being in the sun every day for 5 months and is kinda dull now but I feel like there is a way to make it glossy. I mean it is basically clear with a little black in it or it's just candy black either should be glossy with a full coat... I kinda wanna test this now
