Default yellow headlights

Thinking about tinting my headlights to match my fogs... figured I'd ask you guys since I'm sure some of you tried it. Only problem I'm thinking of is tinting the roundish headlight may be difficult.

How patient are you?
That's all you need to ask yourself... I've done it on a few lamps.
*Personally, I'd get four smaller pieces as they are much better to work with than one big one - trust me on this one.

Get four 12x12 sheets one per 'lamp'.

This is what it looks like btw;

i would just do yellow bulbs, a lot easier to install too! And you can take them off and put them back in without ruining them like a film

I think it looks pretty cool on a modded car, but then again I have a stock black gs so it would probably look gay....

no judgements, my only advice is to check to see if these are illegal in your area (or enforced) and see if that information changes your mind at all.
