Tinted SPRAY Headlights W HID Pics Please

So I've recently messed around with precut tint for the headlights and I couldn't get it to look right. So I'm considering the spray. But the more I think about it, the more I'm wondering if I'll like the look at night when the lights are on?

So, does anybody have pics of your sprayed tinted (or even film) headlights, with the lights on? Even off if yinz have 'em. Help me see the final look. She's Pearl White if anybody else has the same. Thanks in advance!

Don't do it! I sprayed mine during the tint brainstorming process and with the lights on it is a series of small black dots which looks terrible. I'm very happy with it in my tails but hated it on my headlights. I ended up taking the spray off with nail polish remover, baking the headlights and just painting the housings black as to darken the insides of the headlights rather than the lens itself.

^It reduces light output thus the reason it is illegal to do in many states. It would behoove you to check your PA laws before attempting.

Yes it is the same case, but depending on how dark it is this isn't enough to inhibit the out put too much. My fogs in my sig pic are actually tinted and you virtually can't even tell.

If you want a darker look on your headlights, just bake them open and paint the plastic inside.

It's illegal, it'll look awful, and will worsen your visibility.

2001 called and hung up, they actually don't want their blackout look back.
