Exclamation For people who have their lights sprayed already....

This is what I was told:

If you tint or paint your lights, your lights will eventually get warped, meaning the shape itself will not be smooth because the light bulbs inside the housings are hot when they're used.

What are your opinions, suggestions, ideas?

I was thinking about having all of my lights painted except headlights and fogs. Should I do it or what do you suggest?

These are the pictures the guy was telling me about tail lights being warped. *** IT IS NOT MY CAR! *** It was taken on my iPhone. You can see the little circles on the top of each section.

Also for HID kits, I'm thinking about getting 55W 6000K Digital Bi-xenons and xenon from retro-solutions.com for both of my headlights and my foglights, do you think it's a good idea?

Thanks.

Posting pictures would definitely help on these issues.

there is a really easy 3m film that you can put on it to tint it, easily removes as well.

With a 94 gt this would not be an issue as mine have been done for almost 2 yrs. Never heard of that problem before.....
