221_matty Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 http://pistonheads.com/sales/1367431.htm like these! how do they do it? to me it looks like its actually the lense thats tinted but surely your lights would be terrible after? and has any body else done this? i think it suits red but i would like to see the outcome on other colours! ....

1 Litre Screamer Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Its just painted inside the light, use the search function in the HOW TO/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Nah, the one in the link is a GTI, and it's headlights are Lamin-X'd.Apparently Lamin-X doesn't affect the light output, and GTI Xenon's are brilliant anyway, so even if it was slightly hindered I don't think you'd notice.

Mike_M Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 As above..........GTI headlights are very hard to break open and dont know anyone that has succeeded.Going down the lamin-x route myself soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nayr Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 I think subtle tint would look ace on a silver gti, might have to get some on order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

electricpanda Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Their Subtle smoke would look nice on a Silver Gti. Gunsmoke would probably be best left to the Black/Red Loops! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max West-York Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 (edited) The subtle tint is what I am aiming for. Just need to measuup the amount needed before I order.Hey Mike,How much did you order in the end? im just about to order mine so dont wanna be buying more/less than I need Does it stretch to shape easily?

max West-York Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Measure across the headlight and add say 1 inch. Then measure the headlight vertically and add an inch. Then you have a bit of room for mistake.I just ordered the 2 biggest sheets for my arosa and also done my spoiler 3rd brake light.alright nice one, ordered now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
