Default Yellow headlights on a Z?....What do you think

I need new headlights as the one's on the car are beaten by the Miami sun.

I've looked around for aftermarket lights, but don't like any I would consider buying.

I'm thinking on yellow overlays and would appreciate your thoughts.

Check out the pic's on a few I found on the web. Thanks

If you do that to your Z, I reserve the right to punch you.

Nothing personal...

what do you mean by your headlights are beaten up? are they hazed up on the outside? If so, just get yourself some meguires plastx and polish them up.

Major haze and I have purchased the Meguires product to eliminate the haze and better, but not good enough. It needs new headlights as the rest of the car in mint condition.

If you want yellow headlights do it. You can always pull off the sticky stuff.

Yellow headlights on a z are like yellow teeth on an otherwise beautiful woman. Just. Looks. Wrong.

So let's get this straight

Your headlights are hazy, which is obviously dramatically decreasing the performance of the lights, and you want to put a tint over them, which will further reduce the visibility, make you stick out like a magnet to cops...where is the logic?

There is no shortage of perfectly good condition lights for sale in the private classifieds. Or, take the car to a bodyshop, have them wetsand the lights, polish them, and they will look good as new. No need to compromise safety for looks

All of you are correct and will start by taking the car to a body shop professional.

If no can do, I'll look at my options. I've looked in the classifieds and all sold. Will need to keep an eye to not miss out on a good set of OEM's.

I'm sure that the body pro can ease my pain.

After further review, don't want my Z looking like a mosquito. Just wanted something different.

Thank you all and case resolved!!!

All the best!
