Guys With Headlight Covers

00MUSTANG89 · October 26th, 2010, 05:39 PM

Hey i got tail light covers about a week ago and i didn't get the package deal cause i wasn't so sure about the headlight covers. I was just curious for you guys who do have them how are the headlights at night i have a bit of a night blindness

and its already kinda hard for me to see sometimes at night so just let me know on how much of a difference it effected your viability.

We bought these black headlights for a clean look and to match the stripes for carshows. Light does shine through, but you really can't see a fucking thing more then 5 feet in front of you at night!

Most of them will have tiny clips with velcro two-way tape on the top for quick removal. Just be careful that you don't pull both sides of the tape off with it.

I got tinted headlight covers and fog-covers for my V6 and they really, REALLY don't shine through in the day, so be aware of that when signaling. I also changed my headlight bulbs from Silverstars over to some 6000K Xenon blues to help with the tinting effect...still pretty dark at night but with the fogs on at the same time it's not much of an issue. I wouldn't drive on any roads without streetlights though.

You can't really see at night, but its fine with street lights. I just pop mine off if I go anywhere where there aren't streetlights

And yes. Visibility BLOWS at night. But it takes all of 10 seconds to take them off. Putting them back on takes a tiny bit more time because i pop my hood when i put them back on.
