Bought head/tail light tints....

I just picked these up off ebay anyone else buy these? Any pics? I'm worried they'll barelyt looked smoked and it's just a waste of money but oh well its not too much.

I haven't heard of anyone picking these up. Let us know how it goes. I'd like to see how the smoked tail lights turn out.

I got the taillight version and they didnt even come close to fitting. Maybe my batch was bad but personally I would never do it again.

i tried out the laminx tail light film and was really disappointed. they were kinda hard to work with and just didnt fit all that well. but it didnt really matter because when i had them on i got rearended and i just threw it out with the broken taillight

yes i agree they are a bitch to put on but with a good xacto, a hot blow dryer, some patience, and a nice sunny day, it will work fine.

I just have the clear film to protect my fogs and headlights from Headlight Armour. The fit was excellent, no cutting or trimming required. I went with this brand on recommendation from my brothers who put a set on their cars (a 350z and Scion Xa) both of their kits fit perfect too so I did my car and my wifes Element. Every kit we've gotten was a perfect fit.

I can smoke out tail lights with quality paint and clear coat, not that cheap stuff you buy on ebay. PM me for a price quote
