I was browsing the intrawebs and came across this website which kinda got me interested

basically this website sells tint films that are fitted ontop of your headlights and the after effects are very good
 
here are some examples

CLEAR


SUBTLETINT


GUNSMOKE


YELLOW


OPTICBLUE


REDFILM



PAINT PROTECTION




I think personally im going to buy the Subtletint and give it a go and see what the after look is like =)

so heres the link to the website

Enjoy =D

anyone want to get measurements for the headlights

on the site it says

" Measuring up for fitment...

Because we offer you the chance to custom fit our products, a quick measurement is needed on your part. Our light protection films are prominently for the face of your lights, but we have many customers who have tackled some very awkward shapes and sizes with great success.

Please measure the tallest and widest points of your lights, ensuring to take any curves and contours into account. Its a good idea to add 25mm or more to each side (Top/Bottom/Left/Right) if you plan on covering the whole lens (not just the face)

You should then find a suitable option in the relevant shop page above.

The same idea obviously applies to our paint protection products. "

so if anyone would be willing to find out what the measurements would be that would be great Cheesy

Here it looks brighter than before Cheesy
So you can tint the front and the rear lights and you can also use it to protects paint?

I liked the smoked ones first nut after checking the images on the site they are really dark for front headlights almost like black le mans lights!! The subtle tint looks perfect I think!

Looks smart in two tone format, does it affect the light source much? Smiley
