so i should be ok if i got smoked headlights...even though im going for a white/black look right? not exactly easy to send things back from where you ordered them when your stationed overseas. doable, but such a damn hassle

if you want to just black out / smoke your headlights, i HIGHLY recommend looking up xpel. Its a tint overlay. You have to buy the whole kit which includes headlights,fogs,side markers.
