Blue? I've seen it done on a silver and blue car and it looks pretty sexy. It'll match my lug nuts!

So I'm taking my car to Driven Dynamic to get the headlights and tail lights tinted soon. I know for sure what color I want for the tail lights. I need opinion on what color of tint I should use on the headlights.

Here's the link to their site about headlight overlays

Yellow?

Blue?

Smoke/Charcoal?

I got blue ones from Headlight Armor installed about a year and a half ago and they've already completely faded. And since they have some type of sticky backing I'm afraid to remove them for fear of all the residue.
Not a fan of yellow, but if you want to stand out you'll need that or maybe that smoked color.
Why not just change your HID bulb color instead?

+1 on NONE. I noticed you had some stress cracks, but I see many 03's with cracks. I would just use plastic-x on them each time you wash the car and they will look good after a few washes. I wonder if you can order new headlamp plastic, then heat them up and put the new ones on.

1. Go to Advanced Auto
2. Buy some super dark tint
3. cut out window sized sections and rip it all apart
4. find a stock Z and take a picture of a clear window
5. bring the picture + the crunched up window tint and show it to the cop+judge
6. You're free to go! No charge
Cop: "Wow... no one has actually bought the removed tint to me before!"
Me:
The product is called Meguiars PlastiX, my headlights weren't as bad as yours, but they had some hase to them. After a GOOD hand buff a couple of times with a microfiber, the hase is pretty much gone. I think i have one or two small stress cracks as well, but that your really can't do anything about, its just the nature of the headlamp plastic. For a couple bucks and a little TLC, you can't go wrong.

If you are looking for something a bit more extreme thats not over the counter strength from your local auto parts store, Meguiars makes a plastic cleaner and polish from their Mirror Glaze line of products. Its sapose to work wonders. I have no experience with it thou.
