i have both the vinyl tint and the covers on all the lenses. the covers i only put on for shows bc they will scratch your bumper if left on too long and driving. only the headlights are tinted 35%, the rest is tinted 20%, and the covers are much darker.

are the vinyl removable, and I looked at your pics that is exactlly the look I am going for what did you you use. also are the headlights the only ones that you take off. do i understand that all of the lights have both vinyl and covers?

I have "stick on" or static cling vinyl that I found pre-cut on ebay that simply pulls off. I think I paid like $15. Installing it is alil tricker that say a hard plastic cover, but just take your time and line up and use hand or squeegee to work out the bubbles... I like it because its not permanent and its easily removed when need be. HTH

ok maybe its just me but would you just get some normal window tint at canadian tire, or part source or something and just razor blade around the edges... just seems simpler then using pre cuts because you dont have to line them up just make sure its flat and no air bubles or creases.... and cheaper too.
ok so if i go this route what % should i get for all of it. I wanna tint it all baby. black on black on black... maybe leave the fogs alone just incase i need light..lol
