dont tint the headlights they are bad enough at night clear, just get covers, or if you are gonna tint them put in HIDs

I'll put this out like I do with every tail light tint post. Why do you want to reduce the amount of light that your running lights, brake lights or turn signals emit? The idiot drivers on our roads these days need as much attention grabbing light as you can give them. I swear you could have 100 watt strobe lights for turn signals or brake lights and people still would not see you. Then again, their cell phone, ipod, blackberry or big mac is more important than your brake light. Just my .03!

just get brighter bulbs. Im ordering 32 led's in one bulb for my taillights when I tint them off of autolumination. 11.99 each. the spider ones would be cool, they are spring loaded and open up like a tri pod but with five things instead of 3 and have 45 leds, but they're 27.99..
