does anyone know where to get headlight tint like this? (red, pink, purpleish whatever) all i can find is blue, yellow, and smoked. also, maybe does anyone know where to buy colored ricer window tint? i imagine its probably the same stuff.

I know there is nightshades for taillights but I don't think that is what you are looking for...pretty sure AutoZone, Ebay, Pep Boys would have your rice tint.

[NismoDan]

wont that make it awful hard to see at night?

[chmercer]

it would just screw up the light color... people have black smoked headlights so i dont see how a light color would mess it up that much

it has little to do with light output. u can find the ricer tint in any autoparts store

it's just transparent paint sponged on...we had it on our S15 last year before the crash...

Just think about it for a second. How could red headlights possibly be illegal......

what exactly do you do at top secret?

Its meant for race cars so headlights don't crack from rocks. My friend has some yellow film thats really thick, not much change in light output, but protects the headlight quite well.

haha yea ill get some piston return springs while im at it.

whats you guys problem. i just want somthing to put on my shitty old zenki headlights so they dont look all fogged up nasty yellow. so what if its rice, my whole car is rice.

and illegal? rofl. grow some balls. everything on my car is fucking illegal. hmm i wonder if 3 inch dual straight pipe off the header that sticks out a foot and a half behind the car, painted with gold flames is legal. i wonder if its legal to have like 111 db exhaust. hmmmmm. is a hollowed cat illegal? last time i checked my car is also too low for the state im in. oh noes, im gonna park my car in the garage i dont want to go to jail.

eeeep is street drifting illegal? oh shit aieeeeeeee

well post some pics of your car then bitch~!! hah

Why don't you just polish/buff your headlights?

obviously illegal isn't the right word, try stupid. Use some common sense.
[Theoretical situation] tired average joe driver is heading back from his night shift at work, on a 2 lane highway up ahead he sees some red lights and figures, "oh, I must be in the wrong lane" *head on collision* Darwin has killed you for being a dumbass, but you also just killed some poor innocent person [/Theoretical situation]

You can be a ricer all you want, I personally don't car what mods you do to your car for mad JDM tyte illegal street drifting, but red headlights are just plain fucking stupid for a car that ever sees the street.

ive tried the polish buffing stuff, it works for like a month and then it just fogs back up. i was thinking that if i polished them up real nice and then put the headlight tint on right after, it wouldnt oxidize the lens (or whatever that happens to make the headlights ugly)

rennen - seriously, use your brain for a second. are you dumb? a tint with like 95% transparency does not change the light output. im not gonna put brake lights for my headlights dude. heres a test for you. go get a flash light, and go get a piece of blue saran wrap. put the blue saran wrap in front of the flash light. turn on the flash light. HOLY SHIT? wow look at that. it dosent change the color of the bulb because it is too luminous to be affected by some .5mm film with like almost no pigment in it! thats amazing! go drag race into a wall or somthing.

everyone else thanks for the useful information.

3m makes some, so you could buy rolls of it and cut to fit.

I like the yellow tint.

[papershot]

i doubt anyone makes those headlight tints in anything but yellow, blue, or smoke. if you wanted pink/purple/red just go to any autozone-like store and buy that tint. i'd stay away from red tint unless you wanted even more hassle from police.

[skithesteel]

The member nickelmedia on here does stuff with vinyl overlays ... I think they do headlights, too.

you can get transparent spray paint or stainglass paint at your local hobby or craft store. I couldn't find any "smoke" color though.. damn

thats what i get for not reading... you can also find purple/blue/orange/green/red .. i have purple right now but haven't used any yet..

[WongFeiHung]

Wel, the most important issue probably isn't the minimal amount of light that it'll steal (unless you smoke them or something), it's the fact that you will be changing the color temperature. Just don't get blue, or a color similar to it...Blue glares bad and actualy fatigues your eyes...

As for yellow, there's a good reason you see them on JGTC and Le Mans cars, they are the best color for inclement weather and causes little glare. I want to do it to my car, but my car is too mild at the moment to pull that shit off... :-/

[yudalicious]

just sand your headlights, they turn out alot better, and they last quite awhile, resand them once every half a year and you should be fine... show us a picture of your headlights now and I'll give you an honest reply if the way I clean my headlights will work on yours, only if you promise to take that stick out of your ass though
