I am contemplating blacking out either my entire headlights or just the orange reflectors within the next week or two, any one done either of these?

[warriorbob]

i have had my headlights and taillights blacked out since about a week after i purchased the R/T

 

[MeanGirl]

would LOVE too, but Texas will not allow it :shakehead:

Are you looking to black out the actual headlights or just paint the inside trim piece black?

We can offer a painting service for all Nitro members. Pm us for pricing, and the job can be done in just a few days.

Also if anyone is interested in tailight tinting I would love to offer this service as well.

here is a pic:

Did you do the headlights yourself? Is it a film? Is it required to take out the headlights to do this?

its a tint film that i purchased off ebay comes pre cut and ready to install

did it myself (goes on just like window tint) and did not require me to remove the lights

i used the film so i could remove it if i ever decided to go back to a non blacked out headlight

It looks great bob but how are the lights at night?

 

[bogeycentral]

Looks great and ordered the same stuff off ebay and can't wait for it to arrive.

I know some states don't allow it at all, but for those that do, is there a legal limit to what you can black out headlights?

Looks great bob! i wonder if i could do something like that with my drivers side mirror . Iam finding myself holding my hand over it from the glare of other head lights. not every car or truck but enough to make me want to try something. Does anybody else get that ?

I find that a lot when I'm on the unlit sections of the 401 expressway. I usually tilt the mirrors down a bit and adjust the rear view mirror.

I wonder if they have a blue tint you can put on? The mirrors on my SSE where tinted to prevent glare and it helped a lot

 

[Surfer88]

Bob - how did you do it with out any bubbles?

 

[BLUBYU]

I love the look, especially on a black vehicle, but I just spent a lot of money to put in brighter HIDs, I certainly don't want to block the light now? For the mirror question, I would think that this film in black or blue would be perfect? My son's car came with a blue tint on the side view mirrors and I think that is to cut the glare from car next to you on a highway.

Yea my rear view mirror is great i think i will go by a place near my warehouse that tints windows and see what they can do. I was having the same problem in my ram truck and thought it was just my old ass eyes.

 

[bogeycentral]

Going to have to look into that as well. Not sure if I would go with a thin blue or a really light smoke color though. Great idea!

I have HIDs to go in also. I want MORE light not LESS! :chuckle:
I know, some people do it just for the look.

I just don't understand the point of making something on your vehicle perform worse than OEM, especially a safety system.

Function > Form

this is a nice look,but safety is a concern and the nitro lights suck,i'll get the hid's sometime in the future,as far as lights from other drivers the window tint helps a lot,plus the inner rearview mirror has an auto tint that can turned off
