Tinting Headlights/Rear Lights - Removable ?

[tranceduden]

Is there a way to Tint the front headlights and rear lights that is reversible ? Something I can remove if I don't like it/get bored of it ?

Thanks, have you installed these yourself ?

 

[david]

Nope. Just a quick google search. I'm curious about them.

Ahh, I am hoping someone who actually installed something like this can post here. The shape of the headlights and the tails has a lot of sharp corners and curves, not sure how you can properly apply tint film to that.

Angles are too difficult. If you manage to get them installed, after a few months they will peal. Spray or nay.

Can you remove the spray ?

Can you remove the spray ?

Spray can be removed but it would require sanding and polishing

Pull the headlights apart and paint the inner part black :good:

Looks great, but sounds like a lot of work

i tried mine but got too frustrated with the shape. just get a heat gun and stretch right over them almost like a shrink wrap, still tough to do lol

I tried vinyl in the past and was done by an experienced pro with lots of years on his belt. The curves of our headlights even on the 1st gen are impossible to conquer. I was not really happy with the result. Lots of uneven raised spots and bubbles near and around the angles. I stripped it off and had turbocad took care of my dark look needs. Never looked back.

If I remember correctly Plasti Dip has a clear tint now. I'm thinking it's similar to the Nightshades spray tint but when you wanna remove it you just peel it off

Think it looks better on a white fx over a black one (mine)
