headlight tint?

[img]http://www.clublexus.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=76217&stc=1[/img]

there was a discussion about the tint on the headlights of this car which I cannot find anymore.. anyone care to elaborate a little bit about that tinting? If I remember correctly there were a couple other tints that were applied from the same company giving a subtle natural tone that works with your vehicles color.

makes it look like the lights are dirty.

Not feeling it, looks faded.

i've seen some stuff like this in person. i like it. my understanding is it was sprayed with a tinted clear coat.
 
some companies also offer similar products but i dont remember which ones in particular.

You can just go to any craft store and pick up spray for stained glass. We use to do that for our civics, works great and holds for about 3 months.

theres a online store that sells the tint for head and tail lights they also sell clear bras.
ill try and find outthe site, i had it on my desktop but now i only have my laptop:sad:
 
 
edit: found it, here you go

Most people use the colored overlays vs spraying their headlights with paint. I prefer to just leave them clear, along with untinted tailights.

Clear tail lights make me gag

i agree, im also not a fan of tinted blk tails or headlights.
BUT, i got JDM Zenki tails for my hachi and they had a slight stock tint when compared to the USDM ones and i grew really fond of them. So with that said im gonna try a very light tint on my tails and see how it looks (with the overlays of course)

Not to steer this thread off to hard but .. do you see how hardcore those cars in Japan are ... showing in the rain ... mud ect .. ?  Fcuk that lol ! 


and that Gs is the original on that had me set on those wheels .. then they blew up ;( and I didn't catch the wave .. 

I had tint for the rear lights and looked at them .. and said Ewww ... never put them on ...  the tint doesn't look to bad but Its different ..

i like the slight green hue on my stock headlights.  :D

Pancakes! I can see how it looks good on Masaya's car but that is the sport and anniversary headlights.

I normally would stick to non-tinted headlights and tails but I had to apply tinted overlays on my tail lights to hide the horrible altezza style which came factory on the Mazda5.

sport and anniversary headlights????
 
 
You mean 99+/Touring??? 
Hahahaha!
 
you get the idea! :shrug:

I remember this was the craze a few years ago.

They were about tinting them blue or green though. It's been going on for a while, looks good in light green or light blue. from what i remember it was just some vinyl or something.

Yeah i remember when everyone was doing the crappy yellow tint, trying to make their lights look like IS fogs. Boo! just my .02

[quote=Outaurleague;143632]Yeah i remember when everyone was doing the crappy yellow tint, trying to make their lights look like IS fogs. Boo! just my .02[/quote]Yea, a friend of mine did this to his fogs, and I was like, why don't you just get yellow bulbs, or yellow hids?

It's not like the Lexus IS was the first car w/ yellow fogs: they were pretty much the standard fog color in the 60's and 70's.  The main thing I like (and I did get yellow bulbs too) is that the fogs lenses look new w/ the tint!  Better than spending $500 on new fog housings IMO and looks cool, again IMO.

Yeah but the IS did kinda set the standard for the yellow "good looking" fogs. 
That and the ones from the 240sx.
