Be careful because the lenses are tinted from the factory. I found that out when I painted mine.

um ok, not sure where they get their tint numbers. Window tint is rated by how much light it lets through not how much it restricts. oh well. I know either way these are illegal in GA

I like the painted headlight housings better, but its really just personal preference. I think the tint looks good as well.

Watch it...you may run into that cop or state trooper that wants to give you a hard time. If its not DOT approved they could give you a ticket.

Its not the lens thats tinted on the SS/SC and G5 , its the bezel that has the slightly tinted chrome plating . I talked with a few people that used the tint films like that , and all said it was complete nightmare getting them applied and getting the air pockets out . That light of a tint might look really though . The others Ive seen with smoke tint are way to dark .
