bad idea IMO, you'll lose output and overall it will just look tacky

any time you filter out light to a certain color, you will lose output, thats how filters work

Crack them open and paint them FTW. And if you want blue lights just get higher temperature bulbs. Just don't go red or purple or nothing like that.

Tinting them is not gonna look as good, period.

+1 with all other responses .......

Losing headlight output is a safety issue (much like tinting your windshield) - this car has lots of class -- IMO, blue light tint would look ricey on the G.
