I just tinted my headlights with 30% tint from headlightarmor.com and obviously the headlights are rele rele rele dim now. Right now i just have the stock H.IDs...What bulbs could i put that are SUPER bright in order to see at night.?????????????? Any info or PICS could rele help... Especially pics....lol Thanx guy


Joe

P.s here is a pic of my car in order to get an idea....

 

OEM bulbs will be the brightest, any aftermarket bulb will be dimmer than stock. You pretty much PWNED yourself on that one

 

Yeah man i was thinking about getting the tint overlays for my headlights but i realized my lights will be dim and i wont really be able to see so your best bet is to get the inside blacked out..but i dont know how to do that so ...

whoop!

 

nothing is going to be brighter. you have tint over the headlights.

 

Yah i would love to do this but i dont trust myself enough. I would def **** up i wish someone around here knew how to do it.

 

Ouch! I'd say replacing headlights sometime in the future should be your bigger concern than bulbs. Over time, plexiglass shell of the headlights can get hundreds of micro-scratches from constant contraction and flexion of the film.

Besides, deliberately reducing light output by this much isn't going to be counteracted no matter which bulbs you put in there.

 

but ive seen Z's with like blinding blue bulbs...so bright that i couldnt even look towards them......they gotta be better than wut i have right now??????

 

they also don't have a tint film over their headlights.

 

tru...so there nothing to help me

 

you should try and take off that tint and just paint inside your headlights for a darker look. Not only is your headlights dim from looking at your car, it's dim from looking out too which is not too safe.

 

yea i know but i kinda like the look so driving wit my high beams on is my new source of lighting

 

yea, take them off, not only do they block your headlights considerably but if you leave them on for too long there will be stress cracks all through out your headlight if not already. I tinted them for a week and then threw them away because they made the headlights suck. Paint the insides, they look much better and function prefect.

 

I believe 4,000k is about the brightest.

 

tint on headlights FTL

 

looks like your bumper has a huge hole on the side

 

I'm not a fan of that look, but if you're going to stick with it, tint or smoke those clear reflectors too.

 

I thought that as well at first, weird reflection.

 

Don't drive at night and you are set!

 

thats likely because the ignorant owner used d2s bulbs in their headlights as opposed to the d2r bulbs with the glare shield to prevent blinding other drivers on the road. This added light is not projected into any useful driving pattern but rather is scattered everywhere causing the blinding effect you are likely seeing
