how to tint headlights?

[ricanstang]

so do u order these? do u use window tint? ive never done it or seem it up close so i have no idea how to, any pointers on how to do it right?

I ordered mine off Ebay. They come pre-cut. Pretty easily installation if you follow the directions and you don't get in a hurry. Have some soap and water and hairdryer with you and its a piece of cake. If you do a search on Ebay, you should find them. Don't get the cheapest pair you find, you get what you pay for.

I have the covers...I like them since I can take them off at every wash and wax :)

Got them as a gift..mustangsunlimited.com

I think you can use the VHT NITE SHADES spray tint.

do u kno any1 whos used it yet? im wondering if i should use it for my headlights because i order the pre-cut vinyl tints from ebay and im wondering if this is better

[Capriman86]

NiteShades is permanent, the film you can remove.

Stick with the film IMO

i have use the VHT on my tail lights and park lights. but havnt had time to do the head lights yet. it goes on good and its how many coats you put on, for how dark you want it. tail lights i used four coats.

i definately wouldn't recommend anything but covers for headlights i think a few people here are confused about whether you want headlight tint or taillight tint. film and spray are way too dark for headlights.

[Ghost Stang]

I agree with Mike on this one. I would not put VHT on your headlights me and Kenny did our fogs and you cant see anything outta them.

the vinyl tint isnt too dark for the headlights if thats what u mean. at night time when my headlights are on you cant even tell the difference. but ur right the spray probably is too dark

[Midnight Crawler]

when i can get around to buying them i think im going with the covers for the headlights. the spay was good for the tail and markers, but i dont think i want that on my headlights.

[spdrcr27]

i just bought the smoked headlights

[ricanstang]

so the 50 or 60 bucks at autozone for the covers is worth it?

[annamaria828]

i dont think autozone will have mustang covers. u should just order them off ebay because everythings always cheaper there lol

[Turbo96]

either get covers or new smoked headlights. DO NOT SPRAY TINT. tried it on my '88 and you can barely see with just one coat.

[ricanstang]

does anyone have the covers on the rear lights, id like to see how they look in the back.

I have an S197 but look at my sig you can see the front and back covers and the fog lights covers..then look at my avatar...big difference :) Good luck on yours!!!

I do them at my shop in CT. The light needs to be prepped properly first, transparent tint applied by spray gun then a few coats of high grade automotive clearcoat. If you do not clearcoat them they look like hell in my opinion. Leave it to a pro to do them if you want them to look good and right. You only have one chance to make them right. Find a bodyshop in your area that is willing to do them.
