So I decided to buy some tint for my headlights and taillights. I started to work on it this morning and here is where I'm at so far ...
What do you think? I'm up in the air right now ... Can't decided if I like it or not ...

What percentage is that? I like the idea, becuase the Black and white are a good match. But if you have enough film add a second or 3rd layer. If you go for it go all the way and make it as dark as you can. Just my $0.0002..... If you end up hating it, you can take it off.. |

If I add another 2 or 3 layers my headlights will never shine through ... I still need to be able to drive it. |

I just ordered some HIDs so I don't want to make the headlights too dark which will defeat the purpose of the HIDs ... |

Pass on the film man . . . I am not diggin' it. That jeep looks sharp as is, don't over do it. You will be very happy with those HID's, why hide them? |

Agreed - I 'personally' don't like em as much as the stock light. also - I can't really speak from experience... but the loss of light output (on an already terrible light) would be too much me-thinks. |

I think it would look better if I had a black truck ... I just wasn't feeling it with the white and chrome. |

I disgree... I think some of you have had it really to good.... Go test drive a 89 to 97 mazda MX-5 at night.. talk about poor lighting..... I love my KK lighting.. when i turn on the fog lights it is even better.. This KK has better light than my other 2 cars... But this is just a general statement... |
