That is sexy! I would love to know how this was done, not too dark, not too light. Perfect.

just bought VHT black nightshades to do my rear tails , contemplating a light tint on the fronts as well, not sure though.

Does anyone have any pics of tints done on a light colored car? White or sandstone beige?? Thanks

These headlights are custom made like this, but IMO, dark headlights on a light colored car, such as a sandstone beige, won't look that good.

Hey man thanks for the pic, and yes most times the tint on a light color doesnt flow, I agree with u 100%

But i cant stand the red tail lights anymore , they need to be changed, and I will also be tinting my windows, so im wondering if a LIGHT tint on the front headlights, high beams and turn indicators will somehow work with the overall theme.

If not ill just polish up my headlights and re paint the housings bright silver and just leave the tails darkened.

If anyone has anymore pics that would be really great.

Thanks alot

It might be hard to tell but I tinted my headlights and high beams with a light film a few weeks ago. I'll take more pics once the weather is warmer and the car is detailed.

I tinted one of my headlights blue a a week ago. It looked good when my headlight was on (6000k hid) but bad when off. I think I took a pic. Will look for it.

Actually, I believe someone on this forum with a really nice white SC had blue lamin-x covers on their headlights and high beams. Don't shoot the messenger but it might have been Cherplex? I'll see if I can dig up a pic.
