dont tint it. just completely remove the reflector. it would be very awkward to just tint a porting of your headlights.

i think taking off the reflector is easier on the current headlights u have on the car. the new lights look like a pain to break off. what i did was use a blowtorch and a big high quality screwdriver and made that thing red hot and melted the amber and cracked that i could. then the rest i did with needle nose pliers. that approach sounds pretty primitive but it worked twice for me! i even did my last car without baking them open, but there were a couple bits of amber in the housing leftover so i had to pull the projectors and just shake the pieces out. :biggthumpup:
