Default headlight tinting.

hey guys i was looking for a hood today and saw a pic of this car.
http://www.stylincarbons.com/front-b...ne-pi-150.html
and was wondering if those headlights are smoked, and how dark are those because i really love them i dont want to go super dark, i think that dark is perfect to fit my black mustang.

so how dark is that?? 10%???
and where can i get some covers like that for my 98

thanks for your help guys!

theyre smoked, not tinted. you can tell by the housing. smoked headlights look 1000x better than tinted, because the lens is still clear so you can see the housing and everything, but the reflective housing is smoked, so it give it that dark look. get the set that has the side markers that look like the headlights, not the ones that have true smoked headlights and side markers that look like theyre tinted, and it will look badass.

here's what youre looking for:

the first 2 pictures are JonBeast's car.

those tints work good on tail lights, but with headlights you really want the housing to be smoked, not the lens. if you get tints it will make it look like the lens is smoked instead of the housing. the headlights in the pictures i posted are a clear lens with a smoked housing.

Well... to each his own, but I think tinting the headlights looks okay on just a handful of cars I've seen... Tailight tinting is a different story, it looks sexy on a lot of applications...

Just be sure it's something you really want... and make sure it's a legit product.

What kind of headlights are you gonna be selling? I am in need of some new clear ones since I stil have thee crappy factory light, plus I am getting a HID Kit soon and I dont think having foggy lights will be to helpful.
