OK lets pretend for a minute that my car is not a 1.5 powered, primered turd  . How do you think these lights look? I did it myself with the cheap $10 ebay decal. Took me about 20 minutes to do one with a hairdryer and and some windex. Getting out all of the bubbles wasn't too bad.I was also thinking about just doing half of the light like the JDM ones but I wanted to be sure before cutting this and messing it up because they only send enough to do each light so half of it is already gone.

sorry doesnt look good to me and im guessing that would decrease light output also at night? these films would look better for foglights though |

Honestly thats why I ordered it. I was going to attempt to make one of those grills with the two fog lights in it and use the tint on those. I will eventually when I have time. I'm sure this would decrease some of the light output for sure. How much, I don't know yet. |

I think it would look better if it were done JDM style with only half the headlight being yellow, but even that is faking the funk because the amber is inside the housing on a JDM light. No way to win there, you should just quit being such a ricer.

Haha, I'll try. I think I'll keep what I have left to put on the fog lights. Another project for another day. |

Not a huge fan of yellow headlights, makes them look dingy imo. |

Looks like I was the only one who liked it, if your car was all jdm hooked up, you could make it look like one of the cup cars. but with the state your car is in now, I would switch back to clear to not look ricerish. |

I ended up peeling it back off today. I did drive it the other night though and believe it or not I could actually see better with the yellow tint, it was weird. Now I'm thinking about pulling the lights apart and tinting the inside. Not the glass, the reflective part around the bulb. This stuff was a PITA to remove so it should stay on well. I may pick up a spare light from the junkyard to toy around with. I agree Dave, would look a lot nicer if my car was finished or had a full JDM bodykit on it. Then maybe I could pull it off. It was funny to drive around on a primered colt with one yellow light for a few days though.
