Headlight Tint

[lilsmart]

I decided to tint the lenses just to see how it works out. The headlights are only slightly dimmer but I like the look. I would prefer to paint the insides like some others have done but I didn't feel like taking the panels off to get the headlights out.

Sure it looks "cool", but decreasing the outputted light seems like a bad idea to me. Safety Issue!

That is cool you can use 8 letters for your plates. Tx is only 6. So does not let you name your car much.

Installed tint film today, love the look but I need to wait couple of days, so all the air bubbles will disappear.
Smart projectors are much brighter then many other cars, also at night with headlights on, it is almost impossible to know that tint film is installed. If anyone concern about decreased light output, but like the "cool" look, they should upgrade they headlights to Sylvania SilverStar or XtraVision halogen bulbs.

Thanks for the links... they aren't too expensive! I wonder how the yellow would go on my yellow smart... Probably would look ugly - looking from the pictures of other yellow ones at least.

Amazing how a company can sell stuff that's legal to sell, but illegal to use....... and they know it.

Technically my headlights already illegal, because I removed yellow reflectors, so I have a little to loose. What I like about the film, that if you will not like it or get pulled over (very unlikely, I have been driving with headlights covers for years and never have any problems) you can always just peel them off in 2 minutes.
