That looks great ... I was considering about doing that too. But instead of Black applying a light blueish tint instead. Maybe that will make the HIDs look even more blue at night. Do you have a picture to show us how it looks like when the lights are turned on? So, I can guage which tint to select.

Allright...I couldn'r wait until tomorrow so I headed off to Home Depot and picked up the GILA bronze tint. Also got the GILA cleaner concentrate and the tinting kit (squeegee and knife) from GILA as well. Came home, read the directions then headed up to Blockbuster parking lot for their superior liight. 15 minutes and WA-LA!! I got me tinted lights too!! Looks cool at night. The hardest thing was cutting around the corner at the inside bottom. DAMN!! Light is still bright but warmer...has a golden tint to it instead of the bluish tint. Still bright though! Can't wait to see how bad my cut job was. Thanks for the info Speed2000!!!

Wow. You've made that into a mean looking machine with that tinting. Nice job! I can definitely see this being the new craze for the Civic and Integra crowd next week.

The only drawback could be that the cops will have a problem with you having tinting on the lights. They'd probably say that the lights no longer meets DOT safety standards, and could give you a fix-it ticket.

If the police stop me to "fix it", I can pull them both off in a matter of seconds so hopefully they won't have to pull out that ticket book.
