Looking for a good headlight tint product

I want to smoke my headlights just a very light tint. What do you guys recommend I have been looking at spray on tint and also tint film. There are so many different kinds and brands on ebay.

The best way to do it is take the headlights to a body shop and have them shoot them with clear + black. This will look factory perfect.

We have Eurolight and VHT nightshades kits as an alternative DIY method.

You're welcome. Here's what the lightest shade aka 'Smoke' looks like:


The darkest Shade looks Really great (will get a pic tomorrow-there's another yari which has it on campus) however I think it may land you in trouble with the cops and it will make driving at night a lot worse.

I like the light tint smoke look. Gives a subtle look without hindering light output too much. I have hids so hopefully this might cut some of the glare as a added bonus.

Me too, it doesn't give the cops a reason to pull you over The HID's will help and will look great!
