Fly eye light tinting

[Rua1r1]

Im considering tinting my lights on my Luna grey Leon with flyeye tint, but im not sure how it will look, has anyone done this before and do you think it will be worth doing ?

Plenty of examples. Give the forum search a go.

I did it to my headlights which looked different but I got stopped by the police twice (at least over here it's far from legal). There is one downside to it: with some brands (especially jap cars) the lamps tend to get warmer which causes cracks in de lenses which ofcourse can get expensive (would be more of a risk with halogen as Xenon because of the different heath...)

I did my headlights, fogs and side repeaters. Looks great and dead easy to do

I did my headlights in the black 01 stuff and they came out well

Its really easy to work with and pretty cheap. Just give it a try, you can't go wrong.

Here's mine with just the drivers side covered so you could see the difference

Both covered

Liking the photo guys, I'm think it will look good on my car..i want to do the front and back lights, maybe doing the fogs with yellow aswell, how much of the stuff do you like I will need ?

I got the bigger kit 45cmx150cm for £16.50 posted and done headlights and foglights on 2 MK1 Leons and still have some left.

I did my rears with the black 2 flyeye kit on Tuesday, Really easy to do and looks great..

Just one thing I did notice the actual base colour of the mesh is white and the colour is printed on, just like you woud get on a custom sign written van wrap I guess.. Anyway I managed to "scratch" a small line of the black off with the supplied squeegy.. Only the smallest of scratches and no one but me would probably notice! but do be a little careful when smoothing the mesh out around the edge of your lights..

for those of you with the fly eye kits fitted. Does it reduce the light output at all?
Or any noticable difference?

Looks good IMO. It is pretty cheap so definitely worth a try to see if you like it. Plus it is a doddle to fit .

The effect on light output is minimal. Also, if you look at the ground right infrint of you (at night with lights on) you can slightly see where the holes are letting the light through, if you know what I mean. So the fly eye effect is on the ground a little bit. I think it looks quite cool

Har anyone had anyproblem with cracked glas?
Just read at Focus Rs forum that some had problem with the adhesive getting warm and cracking the light.

anyone?

I'd use Lamin-x if I was you a bit more expensive but looks ten times better. Here's the link, I used light smoke on my Vrs.http://www.lamin-x.co.uk

Will look in to it, do you have a picture how it looks on yours?

I'll get some tonight for you. I only did the clear sections on my rear lights.
