Well, After James sorting me out with some headlight tinting film, I thought I should get onto it ASAP while I got the chance.
Now I haven't done the best job in the world, and to be quite frank it was extremely difficult to get the film to "Not crease" but overall I do like the look, it hinds some of the stone chips in my headlights and the errors I could not fix can only be seen up close so I am happy (for now). :)

let the pictures do the talking.

And the error's.





And the light still shines great, here's a night shot.


Thanks again James, top bloke.  :cool:
