headlight and taillight tinting??

[1992HondaAccord]

I like the look of the dark headlights and taillight but want to do it myself. Has anybody used window tint to darken your headlights, taillights, corner lights and/or bumper lights??

[crazymikey]

There is tint film available.

So yes, pretty much. It's been done.

In addition to your vehicle's lights serving to allow you to see better, they also allow you to be seen by others. Tinting them is blatantly making yourself less visible. Less visible means less safe. This seems to be a recurring thing with car trends these days. They're all centered around making vehicles unsafe.

well i was thinking a really light tint on my taillights corners and bumper lights. would that effect the visiblity that much?

[Junior Smurff]

I tried tinting my taillights when i first got my coupe, didnt go so well. The countour of our tailights doesnt seem like it would be a pain compared to others to tint but... it was. Id always have a air bubble no matter what where the taillight bends. Best bet is either Nite shading them or having them tinted profesionally but its expensive. Nite shade is kool bc you can go as light or dark as you want, just make sure you get a nice even coat GL

Most people on here don't care for my opinion. But since you asked I shall give t to you. You're purposefully compromising safety for the sole purpose of "looking cool". Not better handling or better performance, but for looks. Not that those others would be any more right, it just makes it seem more selfish. Personally I would think about how modifications to my car affected others.

Riding a motorcycle (while also possessing a brain) teaches you to be mindful of the thoughts of others on the road. That goes both ways. Not only am I trying to think ahead of them in regard to my own safety, but I'm considering them as well. They're driving in an environment with a very small vehicle that can't easily be seen. Just a different perspective.

I think Deev and I are the only people that ever agree with your logic.

I would have to agree with this. I mean some places you can get in trouble for doing that kind of stuff. As a guy that works at a shop I have turned a lot of people away that have wanted to do that kind of stuff.

I agree with jarrett on the matter, today I thought of buying a can just so I could be different from the other stock cb7's until I got red/clears. Then I thought, damn I do a LOT of driving. And is it really worth it? Not really, find safer ways to be different or cool. That's just my little rant, but to the OP's question, yes tint film WOULD work.

did you use the VHT Night Shade to black out your tails?

[1992HondaAccord]

I agree it is not very safe for the tint, so i think i might go with the VHT Night Shade and only put one or two coats on not to make it black, but just to give it that little tint look! definitely not doing it on my head lights though, think i might just do you corner and bumper lights!

Refer to Bella (My MRT).

My corners,bumper, and tails are smoked. But just dark enough for it to look good but can still be seen very well mid day! I have red clears on my rear just for an idea. I hope this helps!

Check with your local authorities to make sure they won't write you a citation. Tinting headlights or taillights on a vehicle driven on the roadways is illegal.
