Green Tint Headlight Housing

I love how on some of the newer Lexus' headlight housing, there's a slight green tint to it. Do you guys know of any way to achieve this look? I was thinking about using a transparent green/blue paint or some sort of UV spray paint to achieve the look, but I have no idea how that will turn out. Do you guys know of anybody who's done this before or of any way to spray the chrome to achieve a similar look?

Here's a picture of a Celsior w/ the green tint housing headlights if you don't know what I am talking about. It's kinda hard to see it in pictures, but it looks awesome in person imo.

Jus use tint film.

GO to like stickercity.com or some place like that and use there tint film.
Easy application and offers any color/application you may need.

Also unlike painting, if you don't like it, then you can jus peel it off

I hate mine. I don't think it looks good on my white car. BTW it's not on the lens, it's on the chrome.

Awh man, I think it looks awesome. But yeah, it's not on the lens, it's on the chrome housing. I saw in one of my vip magazine a tutorial with these guys replacing their housing to the green tint one, I want to do mine's too but the SC300 headlights never came with a green tint version.

Yeah, that's probably the same article that I saw. But I don't think it was a DIY per say on how to create the green tint. I thought it was more of an installation guide.

Yeah, my friend has it on his GS and it looks really good. Like, whenever he's parked next to another GS that doesn't have the green tint, you can really tell the difference. But yeah, I think you could probably just buy the green tint chrome housing and replace it. It should be much cheaper than buying a whole headlight assembly.

Green tint came on 01+. It's in the chrome, and can be removed if messed with.

VIP Tint+Glass, just grab some 01+ non HID headlights you can get them for like 200 if you can find a deal, and then just swap out the housings, then resell the headlights headlights with the regular chrome for the same price.


What is even more rare are the smoked platinum, 10th anniversary, and Sport Design headlight housings.
