headlights..this or that...


with a baby on the way im trying to save as much money as i can, but of course i still gotta take care of my other baby. im in desperate need of headlights and i love how the smoked headlights look. BUT...damn lights are about 200 bucks (from am), so i was wondering, i know i can get stock headlights pretty cheap, as for the smoked look, i was thinking about getting some headlight tint off ebay. any opinions? (i hear the tail light tint off ebay holds pretty good, how about the headlight?)

Those are super dark..... Almost too dark for my taste... I'd try something reversable to start with. I wish everyone was in good with a bodyshop... They could smoke your lights pretty cheap... I would guess for less than $50.00 ? Might be worth asking around.

just keep the tint light...i've had to sand mine down a bit because it made my 5k HIDs look like standard bulbs from the drivers point of view...to be honest go a coat at a time and see what you think at night...you can never be too sure

my bad on the late response but i forgot to check the thread. but my headlights are great, no problems at all. i didnt even have to seal them myself. its been raining here for like the past 5 months and theyre still good, no moisture is getting in at all. theyre the same ones from that link, but i got it from a different seller off ebay.
