Default HEAD LIGHT QUESTION!

Whats up everybody. So im def thinking about switching the headlights on my coupe and im thinking about goin with the smoked lenses. I dont like the projector or halo styles for the look im going for, I think i want kind of a stock, but darker. I found a few nice ones on ebay. What you think? Anybody got some pics of anything similiar? Heres the front, I think she deserves some nice headlights...

Can we see pics of the lights you're thinking about? IMO, that blue looks too light to do a tinted look to it.

IMO, I think its to much of a hastle putting new headlights in, but thats the fun of it.

You have to take off your front bumper, and bumper support, well, thats on my gen. of Accord, which is a 94 LX.

Here are some pics of mine.

Tint it. Thats what I did. Came out pretty nice. Lamin-x has 3M film, its a nice gauge vinyl. I used that on my headlights. For my tailights, yes I would tint your tailights as well, I went on ebay. I bought a roll, 24" x 48" of some smoked tint film which cost about 30 bucks with shipping, seller Metro Sellers. That was enough to do the tailights and my fog lights. Your gonna have extra so you can save that or use that accordingly.

I dont agree with either of them. If you can pull off tinted windows, you can pull off tinted tailights/headlights. Honestly, if you dont tint it, it'll just look like your rollin around in a patriotic car...red tailights, white headlights, blue car.

Make this car aggressive. Black and blue. And the tint isn't even gonna come out pitch black. it'll be smoke. do it.

tnguyen, i really agree with you. The black and blue is really is something I have thought of, and I really think it will be hot, pretty mean looking, especially when I get the grill. But heres the pic of the lamps im looking for Finch. I love the smoke look... hey, tnguyen, i like the tinted tails on your ride. I wouldnt want to make mine so dark though just because the car is light in color, and call me crazy but i kind of like the red out back, but i wouldnt mind it darker.
