So Im thinking about either tinting my headlight or having the housing painted. Does anybody got pics of theirs?? Good Look

 

These are from Bluebatmobile:

 

Those look pretty nice for tints. Do you notice any change in how bright your headlights are? That was my main concern with tinting I didn't want my headlights to be dimmer.

 

Look at my cardomain page In my sig later ill post some picsz

 

COOLWHP, those look great! they arent so dark that they block light projection. How much were they and did you install yourself?

 

Light projection is not affected at all that I can tell. I paid $40 for the headlight tint from him. Me and my buddy installed them in about 20-30 minutes. The tails are a pain if anyone plans on doing those as well. Just an FYI

Here's a pic over the tinted tails and third brake light:

 

How do you order from blue batmobile? I would like to see what he offers...

 

Gotta email him directly, he doesn't have a real site or anything. I got tail light tints from him sitting on my desk still cause I can't find anyone who wants to mess with them for installation. They say they're very thin and are nervous about ruining them. I personally tried before with tail light tints and know that the Max's will be a b!tch to contour to so don't want to ruin them. If anyone knows someone in the DC/MD/VA area that would install them that'd be awesome...

 

Sick car. I wish you did a video of the tail light tint install showing how you got around the corner contour. I tried once before and failed...miserably...

Those are smoke..no tints

 

GT I think u just sold me fam I was thinking that it would be OD on a black car but that looks sick!!

 

I am going to remove the taillight to install... No questions. Hair dryer and a rubber card and get to it.

 

Any pics of these on a black max?

I am thinking of doing something a little custom with the headlights ones but we will see...

 

2011 Sport headlights on the way! Thats the best look to me. Or the painted housing.

 

What's the diff between the sport and regular?

 

The sport ones have smoked housing for 2011. My bodyshop ordered them for me for my 2010.

This is what my cars gonna look like when i get it back

 

Oh they have the black inside of the lens instead of chrome?

 

im definitely gonna have the housings painted on mine instead of the tint on the headlights. gonna do it at the same i start modding the the rest headlights. . .

 

Honestly my buddy that is an experienced tinter did them... Without the secret weapon ( A steamer) it couldnt have been done IMO... Not easy at all to do the tails because they come a point... I do not suggest just anyone try doing this without alot of experience...

 

Looks nice man! One question tho...how the hell do you get out in that parking space

 

Yup, thats exaclty it, and when you look at it from the front it looks insane man. Kinda like the new M56S front.

 

Yeah I'm still hunting around for someone who will do mine for less than half a G...blacked out housings match the black grill so well...

 

Thx, not too many people in this country can drive in NYC..lol, thats Queens, NY..bro

"Rking21" GT I think u just sold me fam I was thinking that it would be OD on a black car but that looks sick!!
the guy did a nice job, not too dark or too light..just right...plus he clear coat it..to be honest i'm too scared to open up my h/l..i think it would never fit back right..and if a pro do it..he will charge alot..

 

Yea everyone wants 400- 500 to do it here Dan that why im thinking i might just tint them

 

If ur careful u can do it urself. A few guys have done it on here.

 

yea im too afraid to do it myself i watch the diy videos and everything

 

I dont blame u guys for being afraid to do it, The risk of condensation inside the headlight is a great one if not sealed properly.

 

That's the most important part of it

 

Yeah and a condensed foggy light would look hella worse than the stock ones. Has me considering trying to get a set of the 2011 sport headlights and sell mine or something; then again I'll probably end up wanting to add halos/demon eyes to that so I'll crack it at some point anyway...

Maybe I could visit a junkyard and grab a headlight off some beater and practice. I could reseal it and clog all the holes on it with tape and leave it outside to see if it condenses. Seems like a useful skill to learn anyway.

 

+1. hahaha. I was wondering the same.

Headlights look great tho. Now I know how it'll look on mine with tuscan sun paint color

 

2011 Headlights cost $1600 for the set, Nissan is ridiculous with these prices. I would look on ebay, craigslist, or hit up the junkayrd like you said, you should find something. Im sure even second hand these can run anywhere from 300-500 for a single headlight. They cost me 800 a piece from Nissan.

 

sorry u guys live far away..i could have my guy do it for maybe a $150(family price)..if i talk to him...front and back..

 

Forgot he does tints also...going to have mine redone a little darker this summer..i think i currently have 35% allround..

 

lol? thats wack. yeah id gladly pay to have someone paint then...wow wtf

 

The only reason I even was bale to get them is bc insurance paid for it, there was no way im payin almost 2k for freaking headlights.

 

Splitting the headlights apart is not that difficult but it is time consuming... Just search it on google. Itll be just like any of the other headlights shown. Put oven at about 200* put a headlight in there (minus all bulbs, seals, ect..) let it sit in there for ~10 mins and start working on it. Once it gets cool again, stick it back in there for another 5-7 mins. Just take your time and DO NOT set the heat any higher than 200* or you will risk getting a bunch of little cracks in the headlights!

 

I like those 2011 headlights i have to get some, they gonna look crazy on my black max. they go for about 240.00 a piece. not bad if you already invested a few bucks into the car already.

 

where are you coming from with 2k for headlights. i just checked online at the nissan part store and they going for 240.00 a piece.

 

My bodyshop guys ordered them for 800 each. I would like to see where u got them at 240 each. Fog lamps are 240 each, there is no way ur getting a complete headlight assembly for 240 bucks.

 

U were looking at one w/o xenon probably thats why. On Nissan Parts Connection they are 231 for w/o xenon, and 711 for with xenon.
