Default headlight tint

Anyone know where I can tint for the headlight? Not spray, not those HT Nite-Shades transparent black tail light lens coating. THANKS and usually how much for the pair of lights?

If I was you I would be careful tinting your headlights. During the hot weather the heat gets trapped inside your headlights and the film does not properly allow the heat to remove. I'm telling you this from experience because my lenses were covered in spider cracks and our headlights are not cheap to replace.

Yeah just the smoke one like 35%. You mean $40 tinted for the headlight including the films and labour?

THanks

I don't recommend tinting headlights as it affects your light output and is aesthetically ugly. If you want the blacked out look, then you should look into headlight housing painting. Just my 2 cents

This. Tinting the actual lens looks cheap IMO.

blacked out housing looks the best, but if you do it your self you run the risk of ruining headlights that dont come cheap plus it costs a lot to begin with

tinting is a solution between blacking out the housing and doing nothing, in my opinion it looks pretty good if its a slight tint.

Just got 3M light smoke headlight film from nextmod. Trying to do it in the weekend, hopefully it will look good.
