Hi all,

I was interested in tinting the front headlights using aerotech's 5% headlight overlays. I called them up and they said that they discontinued the tint, since it was too hard to DIY. Anyone know of another brand that does a very, very light tint for our headlights?

Thanks,

Jon

Nevermind, I found another company called rvinyl who also does the headlight tint.

For the people who's used either rvinyl or aerotech, was it that hard to do the install?

Thanks,

Jon

I have the aerotect version and so far it's holding up pretty well however they did the install. I have the lightest color available in the "smoke" version. Hope this helps.

IMO Yes it was very hard, and that was using Venture shield clear bra, that stretches.

I can only imagine how hard it is to do a low stretchable tint film. I would rate our headlights a solid 7 or 8 on the difficulty scale due to the curve part on that raps the by the fender.

I was a first time installer on this particular shape, and did not know of any tricks or tips to handle the curves. On my old IS300, I could do a headlight 10 minutes a side. Part of the difficultly is dry or stick time before applying pressure to a different area. To prevent wrinkles and screw ups I would recommend a professional installer.

Do you want the film or just a tinted look? I looked into the headlight film from Aerotect and Rvinyl, but hearing how difficult they were to install with the curvature of the headlight make me think otherwise. There's a product that my friends have tried on their cars. It's called Eurolight (www.myeurolight.com), and it's a coating to tint the headlight assembly. It's not a difficult process by any means, and it's easy to remove should you want. I know they offer a tinted coating, too.
