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

Why would you use paint??????? You can take off vinyl but if you paint them they are ruined.

Hmmm... I would prefer some cleared AP1's, but I think that they do look better than amber. I wonder how it effects your light output.

i have the same vinyl's just afraid to install them

after time close to the edges start to get small cracks from the heat of the headlights...

the organizer for the new england section actually ended up getting new headlights due to that problem
I think people should take heed to this warning and do some research before putting any kind of film on their headlights.

You need to clear them is what you need to do! Looks better though.

If they DID get ruined, I'm pretty sure the guys driving the Gallardos aren't really hurtin' for cash.

Headlights look good BTW.

Maybe for Lambo owners but I sure wouldn't want to fork over the money for new headlights for the S.
