Tint film headlights

[BoomhaueR]

I've had a search but could not find anything specific.

Has anyone tinted their headlights with film, like lamin-x or FlyEyes?

I've seen some pics on other cars but not a mk1 Leon and I was thinking of doing mine but not sure what to get.

not tint film but headlight covers ive done and they can be removed in 10 secs

Do you have any pics? How dark did you do them?

 

[wayne lcr]

Cheers. I guess you have to take them off at night then?

Anyone else tint their lights with film rather than spray? Can't believe nobody has done this...

no upgrade to hids

i used lamin-x really good quality stuff, you do notice the amount of light output once fitted, well i did as i went for the darkest tint.

That looks sweet. Is that the gunsmoke? Easy to stick on?

thanks there headlight protecters from the stealers then get sum light tint spray and sparay light even coat untill you want them as dark as you want and then polish up no srews or oat so if you do get pulled by the rozers just take them off in 10 secs.

I have used Lamin-x and its great stuff, it is slightly breathable so you dont have to worry about small air bubbles as they come out after about a month. If you follow the instructions its easy to apply and they are easily removable when you get bored, Plus i know that the yellow and dark tints are perfectly legal

yes mate, i think its called gun smoke, theres 2 mains ways of sticking it on,

first is to wet the surface then wet the film, them get it in place then start squeegying out the water with a hot air gun, the other is to just stick it straight on, iv always found doing it the first way far more accurate.

I had mine on for a few months and when it come to taking it off, just give it a hard tug and it comes straight off.

I think I'm gonna give the flyeyes a go like Knight Rider: http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showpost.php?p=2861279&postcount=15

If that fails then LaminX it is!
