To do this, you must first be


Then I would guess some sort of spray tint or covering.

He probably used Lamin-x sheets, that's what most people do who want a gay look like that.

Irish, I was watching Racing on TV (ABC 7 NEW YORK) and I saw a Porche and a Ferrari with yellow tinted headlights.
Can a tint make the output better?

No... Any film or tint REDUCES output.

An aquantence of mine has used the same exact color, quite odd to the eyes. I would see this as a practical application on .... ... not many ..things...

alot of LeMans racers use the yellow film for a couple reasons:
1. Lamin-x coating protects the headlights
2. The yellow gives better road definition in short-distance looks (though it does not penetrate the darkness as well), especially when there is rain.
3. They make the car more visible to other cars.

For a "street" application they would only be worthwhile if you lived in a place where it rains all the time (England, for example) and is often foggy.

That is the fuglyest looking thing I have ever seen.

If you have the HP of a LeMans porsche, and race daily or live in the places that have the environmental conditions that irish stated, then do it. If not, that would be the gayest thing ever on...... IMO

It's Lamin-X. When I first ordered my headlight tint they accidentally sent me the yellow film. I put it on and it didn't look bad. Maybe it's the color of my car. Dunno.

I've since changed to smoke though. Much better flow. Oh... and I could care less if someone called it ricey or not.

If the car was dumped, different rims, a lip kit and a different color I think it could work. A bone stock car with headlight tint just looks... well you can see.

they also use it to differentiate between the class of the cars...
