My good buddy Carbednotch has mastered tinting headlights...he's a custom body guy (father and son are actually) and the finished product is just unbelievable...they are perfect smoked lights. Now the question is what is the opinion of you guys with the photoshop my another good friend did for me just bit ago. I'm torn and since the lights to be used are just one season old I don't want to make a wrong decision..so opinion is appreciated.

I like "bright" lights better than tinted.

Tinted lights look better on dark cars

It does look nice, but I like it better with the clear.

leave them as they are. Tinted lights look dirty on your car.

Too bad nobody has made a tinted fox headlight that is like the 2001-2004 headlights that only appear "tinted". The entire lens is clear but there is a plastic insert which gives the headlight the illusion of being tinted out.

I'd leave them alone too - your lights look fine the way they are.
