    Default Light tinting

    Have been toying with the idea for a while as it's a cheap mod to do and better effect I feel than the crappy Lexus style lamps. Have spotted this...

    FlyEyesKit:Car Headlight Tinting:Tail light:Smoked tint on eBay (end time 20-Dec-09 2147 GMT)

    ...and think it looks like a good alternative to sprays. Doubt I'd put it on the headlights though, but what does everyone think? Good option?

    Need replace my side repeaters as well as my standard ones have yellowed with age, so if I were to tint the rears I'd probably get the smoked side repeaters to match :)

    I agree mate, i wouldn't want my front lights tinted, i think lights look good when they're clean and chiny :)
    The backs would be the option to go for, but i wouldn;t go too dark as the car looks daft. IMO.

    I pass a Black Stilo everyday which has blacked out rear light and to me, it looks as though Fiat forgot to install lights on the back.
    The only thing is, it looks a little expensive for what is a sheet of sticky vinyl, (but then again i'm a cheap skate ((Say nothing Scottie :) )

    Ha, yeah it is a bit more expensive than the sprays and the like I've seen. Far cheaper than spending £70-80 on those horrendous Lexus lights.

    I guess I'm just looking for cheaper mods to pass the time that won't screw up the look of the car. I mean, this wouldn't black out the rear lights like I've seen many sprays do - just offer a smoked effect.

    There's a few other things I can get on with while I agonise over whether to do this one though

    Get some day running lights, and install them inside your headlights so they look like a proper unit, rather than underneath or in teh bumper like other do,
    that would look sweet, and very easy to do too.

    I dunno about them. Saw them on a limo earlier tonight and I've seen them on a few other cars, just not sure how good they'd look on the Stilo. Nearest thing I'd probably do is replace the yellowish tinged sidelights with LEDs or whiter bulbs.

    Cheers for the idea though
