Default Tinted Headlights

Just a cheap mod to blend the headlights in with the black. I didn't see a thread about it, so figured I'd post a few quick pictures in case somebody else was thinking about doing something like this. You can sort of tell the darkness of the tint compared to the fog lights.

I want to do that to blend to black and to make my chrome grill shout.

This way was only $45 between film and install if that helps you out. I was looking at buying smoked headlights, but wanted to try this before spending that $$$.

Doesn't this effect the brightness? Definitely looks sharp though.

More then likely yes which is why I left the fogs uncovered. I'll find out tonight.

I did mine almost a year ago. Ordered a roll of light smoke from rvinyl.com and did the heads and tails. It is a two person job without question. As you can see my taillights are the stock XLT, I just wanted to tone down all the chrome. Sorry I don’t have a close up.
