Headlight tint yea or ney?

So I had this stuff from my truck which it looked really good on and I though it would look good with the red which it does....I think

I hate it but I love it.

What do you guys think?

it looks cloudy with flash but its actually clear.

Yah I think its fine if you get the pure white HIDs but HIDextras shipped me the 6ks and it has a lime greenish tint when lit... thats one more strike against em I guess.

And oh man you need some patience to do this with that turn signal nub at the top of the light Of course its only on the GE8

dont forget to vote lol

No from me. Cops will be all over you in a heart beat.
From my experience tinting the headlights tend to lead to small cracks since it ttrap the heat.

Well I think it looks great but as a dd I'm not sure. ! I was actually thinking about tinting the headlights too but the blue tint to try to save them from the sun cause the sun out here in Florida tends to fade out every headlightz there is possible !!! Then it looks horrible .. But I wouldn't mess with this and I was actually trying to find someone to do this for me but haven't found that lucky person!! But anyway since it's on it already, might as well leave it !!! Lol

Yah I liked it but wife hated it and I can say I wasnt sure about Driving around like that all the time.
Yah Id do it for a fee if I was close its a major pain to do the GE.
I might just go with a light smoke film eventually

Oh and I did blue tint on my trucks headlights cops didnt like it as the cheap stuff I had was too dark...
