The tinted headlights look good....however I would use paint and not film to make it more durable and permanent. Then after wet sanding, apply a 3m clear bra film to finish it off.

I'm sure you lose some light as a tradeoff but you have those fogs

Great job and this is one solution to not worry about clear corners I guess...hehe

A few of my Lambo Gallardo buddies do this to their headlights and it looks sick on bright colored cars

You are right. Since your's was not as flush, I thought they were wrong, but my bad. Look:

Hmm.. That looks quite clean. Came out real nice. I think the scheme is a bit off with the yellow fogs.

Why didn't you just buy a $7.00 bottle if Meguire's Plastix and polish them clean?!?!?!? I do everyother time I clean my car and they look almost brand new (aside from normal road pitting).
