do it yourself with spray tint from any auto store. easily removable also
I was thinking that too but I don't want to take the lights out and I think that's the only way to do it right. They sell the tinted film online for like 60$ I may attempt it myself
You don't have to take the lights out, mask it well and you are good to go

No I'm getting a clear bra and the shop only does clear but I wanted a light tint just for the look.
If going just for looks, why not tint the windshield as well?

I don't have any windows tinted on my car but if I liked the look then I would. Why don't u get a big dildo on ur windshield since we're suggesting modifications for each other that have nothing to do with my original post.

No hard feelings I was just being bitter since I was stuck on a 4 hour layover on the way to Australia . I'm 30, so was totally taking the piss with the kids thing. I know a lot of people tint their tails (which I think is meh) but I had really never heard of tinting headlights before. I have 20%s all around my windows . . . That isn't alien to me.

Or better yet, leave a giant dildo shape "untinted" right in the middle of the windshield so you can only see well through the dick shaped hole in front of your face.

This isn't directed at anyone in particular FYI, it just sounded too good not to type out.

I have tinted my M4 with lamix tint. I would highly recommend NOT doing it. It cost me only $200. My main issue was that the film itself was thick and blurred the lights. The light output was slightly less. There was also wierd artifacts and reflections on the bumper of the car in front while approaching a stopped car. Also, the installer sucked - he cut the film on the light.
