Default Tint for lights?

I want to tint my Gt's lights soon. I am planning on doing the headlights, front turn signals, rear markers, and 3rd brakelight. I already have 5% on my windows. I was thinking either 5% 0r 15%, what do you guys think? Does anyone have any pics of their lights tinted 5 or 15%, in daytime and at night with the lights on? Thanks

5% seems way too dark for headlight tint. I'd just buy headlight covers and pull them off at night if you're wanting to go that dark

agreed get the plastic covers that black out your headlights for the day and take em off so you CAN drive at night. Or you can do the 20 or 30 tint that headlightarmor.com offers. Great company my headlights, foglights, and tailights are all using their covers (yellow fogs, 20 tint on brakes 30 tint on headlights)

I have the avs head light covers, I just took off my clear corners and tinted my stock corners with tint that isnt permanent, I bought the wrong stuff at auto zone by accident so i tried it anyway and it worked out good, especially for the side markers, lil bit of tape around the top edges to make sure it dont decide to peel. Then for the fogs I think I am going to put on the tint that sticks but for now I have the one i can take off on it. Tint is 5% and you cant see sh*t from your lights with all of them on at night. The turn signal you can actually see fine at night and so so during the day. It looks nastymean if you ask me, I have 5% on the rest of the car and 35% on front winshield to so my hole car is basiclly blacked out. Thehorse on the front is such a ye sore to me now[:'(]Ill get a few pics of it up so you can see it.

p.s The non permanent tint is good incase u get pulled over to can maybe bullsh*t ya way out of ticket, say u wree at a car show or photo shoot and you just forgot to take them off, and just peel them off right then and there

I have my front lights tinted that dark, No night shots though. They do dim the lights thats why I left the fogs uncovered.

I agree with Prime. I had all of my lights tinted 5%. Couldn't see anything. So I took off all the tint, and only replaced the headlights with 35% or 25%. Gonna go darker though. It looks almost blue.
Might do a write up, its fairly simple.
