What are your opinions on smoking the headlight lenses with the VHT stuff over headlight covers ?

 

i was thinking the same thing..... but not sure

 

ehh, it probably would look alright but i wouldnt do it. id prefer the tails and sidemarkers only since you would like to see the road. the film isnt as bad because its clear

 

Well my main concern is that i have HID bulbs in standard housings, I passed inspection yesterday, but every once in awhile i get high beamed, so i wanted to tint the lenses till i get the correct ones to help

 

Why not get tinted covers? I'd be concerned with not getting an even spray on both headlights...but I guess if you mess up you can just toss the clear covers out.

 

don't tint the headlights...honestly it's dumb to tint it for safety sakes. plus i think the spray on ones will decrease output even more compared to those tinted films since the spray isn't as clear as the film. if you are getting highbeamed at you can try to polish the headlights so it won't produce as much glare. i polished mine with plasticx last week and the cutoff was more defined and has little glare.

edit: actually i just notice you have a 2000 max so having hids in the stock headlights will create a lot of glare that's why you get high beamed.

 

instead of smoking....why not aim them down?

i don't get highbeamed anymore

 

You could tint the lower part and upper part to concentrate the light.

 

I Lowered them down abit, Ppl in the oncoming lanes dont high beam me, its the idiots who are parked on the same side of the road facing the wrong way waiting for who knows what. They need another wetsand , the lenses look like there splintered inside the lenses like the plastic is fatigued

 

i have the same set up with 10k hids....what temp bulb are you running?

 

me? i have an 02 maxima with stock xenon.

 

Running 6000K here.

 

These headlights are expensive, and the spray doesn't come off easily. Best bet will be to get smoked vinyl overlays from blue batmobile or rockblocker.

 

Not true the spray does comeoff easy with the right stuff.

 

correct. wetsanding is the cure. only takes 10 mins or less depends on how much u tinted. i redid my tails in no time. but yea dont tint the front. dont even worry about the people hi-beaming you at all ignore it, if they dont like it then oh well. if it bothers you that bad get some HID Highbeams

 

Haha ide love too, but i need dual beam lenses first, ill get some sooner or later

 

oops wrong quote

 

don't tint them, it wont look good....period

 

Look at my Overlays in my Gallery and in the long thread regarding them. Some good pics there .

1. why would you want to reduce light output from the headlights. Our headlights are already mediocre in the first place.

2. in terms of looks. Leave the smoked headlights for the redneck mustang and camaros....

 

btw Professor. There is too much going on in your sig. Either keep your sig or keep the danasoft crap. But not both of them. Combined that sig is way over the "legal limit." Thanks.

BTW, it's wrong anyhow. I'm not using IE6 (using Avant) and Springfield is 2 towns over

 

Yeah the danasoft thing is getting old , Its outa here ^_^ Hope you like the new one ^^

 

Your light output will decrease, I used 2 cotes of Nite-shade on my fogs (I don't use them-no great loss) and noticed quite a decrease. I do like the look, though.

 

I don't like to tint it.
