has anyone here smoked their headlight? I was just wandering how it looks. I'm thinking about smoking my headlight, I'm not really after the blacked out look, but more of a quality feeling. I donno how to explain it, but the current headlight just looks to plasticly, and I want to get it a more classy, quality, feeling...I donno if any of those makes sense...

 

I contemplated this as well, but my previous experience nightshades vht tint spray is that too little, and it looks purplish, and too much it is too dark. and either way light output gets effected. If you have HIDs, it might be negligible, but if you have stock halogens, you might want to upgrade to a higher quality brighter bulb, like silverstar ultras or something.
It would look cool - I'd recommend getting a similar clean sheet of plastic as the headlamp housing and do some practicing to find the right amount of spray for the right shade.
Also, contact xpel technologies - xpel.com - they have really good quality tint films for headlights at reasonable prices - i got my yellow fog films from them, 12 bucks shipped. nice, thick good quality stuff. they have several color options.

 

One vendor on eBay sells, or used to sell, precision cut 3M smoke film sheets that apply to the headlights. I bought a set about 6 months ago, but never got around to putting them on. The ad claims that light output is not affected.

 

you have to be careful about film and HID temperatures. HIDs tend to heat up more than the regular halogen lights due to a brighter light. with film, it might melt away the film.

Lamin-x makes the film also.

 

I did my headlights, tails and fogs with products from Bluebatmobile.
