Default any breakwater blue is with blue headlight film with picture?

any break water blue is with blue headlight film with picture that can share with me? I need to protect my headlights but wanted to try the optic blue. I don't know how it will look or will it match my car color's. And does it reduce the light output of HID and Fog?

I haven't seen any BWB member with the optic blue overlays.

As far as the overlay reducing the light output, it doesn't. It just changes the color to something a tad more blue, but almost insignificant with HIDs (like it disappears).

DNE: does not exist. so you be the first!

joe Z of course has the blue overlay. it is easy to imagine BWB with the blue overlay after seeing his pics.

blue on BWB is a sin. forget about the headlights and protect your fog lenses. or be like me, just save some money and replace the lenses!

Aren't they illegal in some areas? I read somewhere on here that they got pulled over for vinyl overlays.

Not really.

But I think it will be overkill with blue.

Just stick with your HIDs, and get clear overlays.

I have clear overlays for my headlights... (see signature)

Some areas, yes.

But cops will only pull you over for it if it impedes with visual safety. Most cops won't pull you over for it, but they'll add it other fines if they catch you for something else.

All black = stealthy.

All blue = smurfy.

I prefer without film.

I want to see headlight housing on light color cars.

yeah, looking through some pictures of white IS and silver IS with blue lens, I think it will be over kill. way way too blue to match with my car and it will stand out. if it is light blue it would be okay. Thank you everyone. I think I will get the clear or just leave as is. I still got some pieces of my clear bra that I could put on some spots.

just to make sure, isnt housing means that coloring the chrome parts in the headlights?
