Guys ... just wanted to let all of ya know something!


The Bronze tinted Headlights that came with my Anniversary Edition Max isn't all that its cut out to be!!

FIRST ... because they ARE "tinted" it makes your Stock Headlights look more YELLOW (something most of us don't like)

SECOND because of the TINT it reduces the OUTPUT a Bit, Just like Tinted Bulbs!!!

BECAUSE I didn't like the YELLOW, I got PIAA SUPER PLASMA's ... but now it means DOUBLE Tint ... so my Headlights LOOK REAL GOOD ... But output is REALLY reduced!!!

Output is really reduced because the PLASMAS are only for looks and are not DOT approved. Get the PIAA SW, and be DOT approved, have a bluish look, and also be alot brighter.

what are you talking about man?
the bronze tinting has nothing to do with the light output

I think the bronze headlights look cool when looking at the car, but, admittingly, I probably would not notice them unless I was really looking for them.

Looking at the picture that Phuong posted... doesn't look like much of a tint over the lense cover. Only on the edges.
