*[DIY]* Smoked Lights

[Will78]

Sorry if this is a repeat topic.

Anyone here knows how to DIY smoked headlights? Is there a special type of paint we can use to darkened our headlights?

 

[arthos7]

maybe u can use the black tinted film but need some hard work though.u need to open the cover of the headlamp housing.i did open my headlamp housing for the angel eye DIY.just need alot of patience... :D

to darken ur headlights.. normally ppl use tinted films... depending on wat car.. if ur headlights flat.. then much easier to do.. if like wira.. i think not easy to get a nice job done...

well to have smoked lights.. some ppl just use tinted film stick outside n cut de shape to make "smoked lights look-alike" :)

or u open up ur head light housing n spray some parts black.... but not easy lar... as arthos7 said..

Not really difficult lar.. did mine using normal semi-transparent sticker (dun use tint film!! too hard).. ;)

have a look, not bad what...

So those who want to DIY their head lamp using translucent sticker, PM me and come to the DIY session in Bukit Jalil Squash Stadium Car Park on 27th Feb, 9.00pm until 2pm.

The cost should be around RM15 for 2 head lamps..
