Default Tint Vinyl Film on Headlights and Fog Lights

I applied some vinyl tint to the headlights and foglights...pics arent that great but it looks pretty good. My only concern is if the heat from the bulbs will melt the vinyl(?)...

Hoofprint, how does it affect your night driving? I would really like to do this to mine but I already have the entire front windshield tinted 30%, so I'm already a little hindered at night.

With you having your windshield tinted you probaly gonna have a problems seeing at night. I have the stock HIDs and it feels like i'm looking through a tinted window and im noit

Honestly I havent driven at night yet as I am not sure what the heat from the lamps will do to the vinyl film...

lol well its not legal thats for sure.. but from the front, you can't see inside if your standing right in front because its limo tint the rest of the way around.. And no matter how bright it is I never have to wear sunglasses when I'm driving.. plus on hot days it keeps the heat out of the car.. This is the first one I have ever had the entire front windshield done and I will do it on every vehicle for the rest of my life, I love it
