Vinyl tinted headlights

The front ones are tinted with vinyl pre-cut film. Bought it from headlight armor. I got the taillights painted and vinyl looks much better for me.

If anyone wants their tails or anything tinted you can send it to me and i can do it. My friend owns a paint shop so we would mix clear coat and black then spray them. We did that for mine and it turned out great.

If you decide to tint them please remember that the defintion of tint is to reduce light transfer/output. Make sure your brake lights are visible, especially if the car behind you is facing bright sunlight. I have posted elsewhere where tinted tail lights were found to be the fault in a rear end collision and the insurance has denied coverage due to the Evo owner due to the mod. The insurance companies and lawyers will look anywhere they can to find a fault.

If you can afford it, look up "2010 Evo Smoke taillights" on ebay or any other site. I wanted to keep the OEM lights and just tint them but then i came across a nice pair of tail lights smoked out. it is a quick and easy install too!

Meh... I hate the way the LED tails look on the X.
