I used the overlay that was posted by someone else here to cut the shape. When I held it in place, it seemed that even if I were applying the proper way, there would still be many kinks in the tint due to the curve of the headlight. I think this may have to do with how the overlay was created. I think a professional tint shop could do this exact job in 15 minutes. |

Good try...
I'm still waiting for someone to try: 1) light grey etched glass vinyl for a 'frosted' look - would tone down the amber http://www.decalfx.com/etched_glass_decals.html 2) Titanium Silver Carbon Fibre vinyl - might work to simulate euro look http://www.decalfx.com/carbon_3_titanium_sheets.html Or even a black CF vinyl overlays and or reflective silver (not metallic silver). The CF ones might be interesting as it has a dynamic textured look, especially the silver CF. Might be the closest thing to the Euro lights look most of us are looking for. |

I might give this a shot. There's CF vinyl in silver available on ebay as well, like 5 bucks a foot...
