darkened headlamps.. :)

[jamie16v]

today i decided to tint my headlamps.. after doing the indicators which i made a bit of a mess of.
i had already darkened them by painting in the non needed reflective bits on the inside of the headlamps.. but it didnt look bad enough for me..
here is how it looked before i started this evening..


then dicky came around to my place to sell me some of his lower vents (cant really see them in the pics but theyre cool (also drilled a hole for the ambient temp sensor)..
so after he left i fitted the indicators which i made a mess of then thought "what next"?... so.. out came the headlamps and i tinted the glass..
i didnt want to go too dark so i gave as little coats as i could without it being patchy..
to be honest.. i love it.
here is how it looks now... vents fitted too...

looks v cool, but arent the lights dimmer?

im on the look out for some new headlights, ideally hella twins or morettes. Kells ones look pretty sweet, wouldnt mind a set like those, but knowing kells they aint standard!!!

That's the sort of look I'm after

Don't wanna risk tinting the lights themselves though lol

yeah i would imagine theyre slightly dimmer, but theres nothing a HID kit wont sort out..
