I believe you are 100% correct, they wouldnt sell a headlight like that, not DOT approved, but that does look like a spray on tint

It does look evil, but if I had to guess, I'd say it's probably a vinyl overlay.

And the girl - meh. I've seen 100 sexier ones (and their equally hot MILF's) just tonight. I'm working my part-time job at the mall.

Hard to tell, but it looks like it may be one piece which would indicated a tinted plastic cover.

but they do sell non DOT approved stuff. it would be for off road use only or something though. but those do kinda look like a one piece plastic cover.

I would rock that in a heart beat if it was cheap.

I still love that one members on here that had half of his kouki lights yellow and the rest clear. that was hot.

I found this. http://store.racinglab.com/lamin-x-lpf-322.html

Check out that yellow. Im all for it.

They just dont have it for a 240.

I wonder if it would be hard to trim and get right ?

And it says you can use it on sidemarker's and taillights

But im seriously thinking on the smoked or the yellow for the headlights

You would. It's not legal. No tint is legal on headlights/taillights. There is some stuff available for American cars (covers), but you can only drive with it on during the day. It is NOT DOT approved, trust me, lol. I was just at the CHP today, and read some booklets, from boredom. And kckouki, no car comes with dark headlights... Just FYI.

I never said that they did. I said how do they know that they didnt.

Plus I know some mustangs came with smoked headlights from the factory.

they were black housing, not smoked lenses. lenses can NOT be modified legally. you can however, open up the housing and paint it black, white, whatever color you like. you cant alter the lense itself though.

i put black HOUSING headlights on my civic. does not affect light output, just changes the look.i just think you are confusing the 2.

i am seeing the beauty in not living in southern california. our family took a detour. instead of moving from cincinatti to la jolla, we moved to oakland michigan. i assumed it couldnt get any worse.. yet, the 3 cars ive owned here, ive never been bothered about mods or anything. it really is a mod friendly state. RB swap, no catalitic converters, no exhaust decible ticket crap. nothing like that. the only thing we get hassled about is the front 2 windows being tinted too dark, and headlights/tail lights burnt out. no emmissions requirements, etc. i drive little ricer cars, nobody knows what the hell they are around here. its freaking funny. just my little feel good rant. haha. just saying, i know for a fact i could get away with driving with those headlights around here, thats all.

True that, but if you know how to play, you can survive. And i could not care less about some smoked headlights. It's just MO. I go for performance, and just a little bit for looks. And i would never move anywhere from Kali. Well, maybe Hawaii, but just maybe.
