Okay well first I'll see if my lights are legal (I might win a case), and if I lose, then I'll see what my body shop guy can do with the fronts...but I guess if he can't do anything for certain, then I'll keep in mind that you can sand them down to a dull finish (how do I make it undull again?).
thnx for the info

Okay. Ya my body shop painted it. So it looks extra nice/clean compared to when I spray them, but I never actually was ticketed for the front headlights so maybe I can just keep the tint on there. But if I do need to change it, my body shop said it was permanent unless they use paint-thinner, which they said might ruin the headlights...so tomorrow when I drop my car off, I'll just get the heads from him later that evening and ship them to you. I won't worry about removing the tint at all...yet

I have some side view led on my headlight and got pulled over for inadequate vehicle/ wrong colored lights.

Tap into the parking lights, which are the small yellow colored lights on the lower corner of the headlights (in that picture). Or just run a cable to a switch to the inside of the car.

If you are going to add led drl, at least change the parking lights to leds and the same color, so as to have a nice looking front instead of a weird combination of ugly yellow with a nice looking white.
