headlight tinting

[Grim_Reaper]

how would go about tinting the front headlights and tinting the rear lights? ive seen a few cars with tinted headlights and i think its abit more complex than taking the glass off and tinting it using a spray lmao

wow thanks lol...me being a noob i dont know much about this forum...i will keep in mind about the articals if i want any more ideas

taking the lens off is a bit of a pain in the as, I tried it tonight by putting the ens in contiually boiling water to no joy, think I need a proper heat gun, but ten again, the adhesive is 20 years old

lol, i just basically skimmed through that thread and understood most of it...lets just hope when the time comes i dont end up spraying the mirror :doh:

Taking the lens off is easy.

I used the wifes hairdryer to do mine.

Tinting the rears is even easier. Just get a can of tint spray.

is it possible to get rid of the orange reflecor(sp?) in the glass on the rear lights??? ive never liked orange/yellow in the lights

[Grim_Reaper]

just checked the artical and the indicator lence gets tinted red but what if i want to tint mine a very dark colour but have the whole of the lence the same shade

[munky30]

I think MHW or someone do a smoked rear lense for e30's.

one colour all over but its not a very dark tint.

Or just spray it with tint spray.

remind me of a golf mk4

Two coats of tint spray... I want them darker but I'll just get pulled over loads for them.

They let through plenty of light now so haven't caused any problems, but they would if they were darker.
