supreme_style21 Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 Sure does affect the headlights. Putting ANYTHING over your headlights will affect them. Taillights not so much.. depends on how heavy of a coat you apply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 my tails are done, but I would NEVER use it on my headlights... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trep Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 honestly I don't see the point in making lights a smokey color, or putting covers on them. personally I like the stock look. that's why I like sleepers, they look stock, but only the owner know its modified underneath.

EurosportZ34 Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 i would almost think it would be illegal to put it on your headlights because your tailights aren't used as much as your headlights...plus you have to see with your headlights as well as on coming traffic see you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rshissler Posted January 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 I've seen cars with it on the head lights and most of them say it doesn't affect it. I was reading up on some of the stuff and it says it wont affect the headlights so i was just wondering if this was true or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supreme_style21 Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 They are morons if they say it doesn't affect the headlights. The headlights are designed in a specific way to produce a specific light pattern. Putting anything over them degrades the quality. Even the road grime you pick up in the winter/rainy seasons kills the quality of the output. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terryk2003 Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 i wouldnt put it DIRECTLY on the headlights...if you wanna tint your headlights you should make/buy some headlight covers that you can take off @ night... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to make my tails a little darker than they currently are. If you have any juice left in your can of niteshades I'll buy it off of you(Matt).

sonyman87 Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 yes you can drive with them on your headlights at night.. the problem is you have to have your brights on to see the road 10feet infront of you.. most poeple that have them take them off at night so they can drive safe.

Darksyde Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 I have my taillights, b/u lights and front grill lights done. It made them very hard to see during the day. At night it wasn't to bad. I bought some super brite bulbs and it made it better. I finally stepped u p to LED fro the front and the rear. Much easier to see at night now. Still hard during the day. As for the headlights.....technically it is illegal to put anything but a clear protective cover on the headlight. However if anybody here used to get Summit catalogs about 8 yrs ago, they sold a headlight for p/u's that was basically a niteshaded light. It appeared pitch black when off, but normal when on. Same as some of the PIAA lights. Maybe a slight tint of niteshade would be ok. But if you have cops around you like i have around me, it won't last. Just my $.02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
