Tinting my headlights

Not a fan of the tinted look, if you can wait to save more for the painted versions it would be better off in the long run since tint is known to damage headlights after awhile.

Yeah, basically any headlight overlay doesn't allow the headlight to expand/contract with the heat generated from the xenon lamps. This causes stress fractures that look like spider cracks throughout the headlight.

I wouldn't suggest using any overlay on your headlights.

Damn I really want to have my headlights black also but I don't want to open them. Guess they are staying clear
