just a word of caution, nothing to do with being illegal...etc
But i had smoked tint for my head and til lights of my previous car - what i found was over a period of only about 3 months of having the tint on the headlghts, the the actual headlight cover had warped due to the concentration of the heat/light where the low beam was shining through (obviously as i use low beam more than high beam), and the heat could not escape effectivly enough from the headlight due to being encapsulated by the tinting. The warping didnt look very good and it ended up distorting the beam in the end.
Also on the tail lights, if there are any impecfections/raised symbols/letting on the lights this may also become an issue when removing the tinting because as the light heats the cover, the tinting expands sightly, when the light is turned off it contracts - and then it is effectively stuck/burned on to the tail light cover.
+'s
smoked tint does look cool and would probably be bst used on show cars
really easy installation - slightly soapy water and a squeege
-'s
the distortion of the head lamp cover
the melting of the tinting on to raised lettering/symbols
the amount of light that is actually reduced by the tinting
the precut shape of the tinting - mine was slightly too small for the headlight/tail lights so i effectively had a 'boarder' around my lights of the original light that i was trying to cover which i didnt like the look of
in summary
having done it previously i wouldnt bother doing it again... its really just a cheap and nasty product which can have major repercussions down the track.
great feedback and post.. thanks Quenten
They do have it for the rearlights right?
