Tinting back and head lights with vinyl

I just bought a system off amazon but anyways while i was looking around i came across these vinyl tints for your back and head lights. I was wondering if any one here had tried them before and if they are worth the money.

Don't do it. Looks tacky, decreases light output, and will probably get you pulled over.

Not a fan of tinting headlights. I'd just recommend to use those overlays instead that outline the headlight if you really wanted to.

^ this.

imo tinting your headlights is only asking for trouble. It gives the police a reason to pull you over and possibly throw the book at you for other mods.
just my .02

if you are going to do overlays, don't get the ones that tint the whole lense. if it has cutouts for the lights, cops cant say dick.

Yeah get the GTR style ones with the cutouts from Bluebat. Planning on ordering mine for head/taillights next week.

Youll be much better off than ordering random crap from amazon/ebay with no reviews or anything.
