Who has smoked headlights?

[Zee]

I'm thinking of smoking the headlights, i need some input of whether I should do this. Anyone have pictures of their smoked headlights?

 

[GIOVANELL EK4]

just dont sometimes they look good but just that all the people i know always end up taking off the tint cuz not enough light

just black them out (paint the inside bezel and remove the orange reflectors), you'll basically get the same effect.

From experience...they dont do any justice when you turn on your headlight at night....your light will look very dim. They look cool and all but usage wise...not the best

meh.

If anything, get the tail light tint and spray the chrome housing, with 1-2 coats of it. Might replicate CTR headlights closely.

As in tint spray or black housings?

Black housings look good on black or dark colored cars. On other Civics, it looks like it has a black eye. I would go for the stock chrome lights, or CTR look. Much better color contrast.

[Raabe]

do it, then take pictures.

then undo it and come back, so we can say "we told you so"

those are ion headlights. totally different.

as far as tinting your headlights black, its REALLY hard to pull off and ive only seen one car where it looked ok.

i dont think you can make it work on a civic.
