ugh. smoked headlight covers are for suicidal maniacs. they block too much light. but if you like not seeing the deer until it's RIGHT in front of you, be my guest.

Yah, I'd never put them on my car (plus, it's illegal in Cali) but, I figured the link might help, at least a couple of the suicidal maniacs out there...

For sure. If they weren't tinted so dark, they'd be better. I also found eyelids for the headlights on 3rd gens. They don't have a picture of them on the car though.

Damn son, that's a major ripoff. I got my clear ones for $40 out the door. The smoked ones are the same price. I posted it on here once but don't feel like digging.

They are illegal in almost every state, is the law enforced, not enough imo..some local municipalities are strict on enforcing them, most are not..

Who would want them on our cars anyway, imo they look stoopid, not to mention our headlights have kinda crappy output as it is, so actually putting something on them that reduces headlight output is just plain ignorant..

I dont think its a good idea AT ALL... the tails would be ok to do Ive seen that done on a 3rd gen but the headlights lol what are you thinking? just by the BMW E36 i think correct me if im wrong... but they are somewhat black and u can just smoke out the corner like this one....




Below are the smoked tails...



and that is a rip off lol when u can just buy the spray in a can...(link below)

Where can the rubber on the bumper (right underneath the headlights) be purchased at? I got a new bumper cover that didn't come with any and the old ones were shot....

For that kind of stuff the dealer is usually the only option. Prices shouldn't be too bad for trim like that.

Price for that rubber trim piece from the dealer is murder. bought them a decade ago when they were still in production and it cost an arm and a leg. doubt you can even get them now.



closing thread since:
1. DON'T POST EBAY ****
2. tinted headlights are illegal in 51 states. (yes, that many...)
