Blocking the headlamp output of you car is NEVER a good idea. If it's a show car, or only driven in daylight hours, OK.
BTW: Smoke tinting headlights, or any lights/reflectors is illegal in most/all places.

What virgin1 said.......Are your headlights just for looks or so you can see at night?

Check out http://headlightarmor.com/ as they come in different colors but as far as smoke color for the headlights ,not a good idea . It is very illegal and not safe.

my friend had his headlights tinted on his IS300.. he had upgraded HIDs on it, but after a while he took out the tints becuase he said himself its hard to see at night with them on. and ur goin for a really dark tint too.. if u go for a lighter tint mayb u wont have so much of a hard time seeing at night.

Oh! I do have blue RockBlockers on mine, but promised Chris that if they reduced light output in any way that he would be refunding my moeny. He assured me that they wouldn't, and they are still on my car after a year.
The truth is, I don't even know their there when I'm behind the wheel... and I do a lot of nighttime/early morning time driving. But when you look back @ the car, they look kinda' cool, imo.
What do you guys think? (threadjack, but frankly I think we lost the OP anyway.)

Black. Eh. It's been done many times before. What I think is reallysad is someone else w/a white 3 that makes their badges black. There are so manyother much more interesting choices, nearly ANYTHING, you can do w/white.
Sorry, Man. Didn't mean to **** on your parade. Just my .02. I hope you'll think about it and maybe reconsider.
What color is your Speed? If I ever knew, and I don't think I did, I had forgotten.

I just felt my white neededsome color. I think it was the American/subconscience/Red White and Blue thing.I didn't really start out w/a plan, it just sort of happened that way.
