tinting/overlay on headlights

does anyone know what kind of tint is used to tint headlights or do overlays with it to match a black 04 coupe?
found these guys and they look good, but I was looking for more of the 5% tint not the 20%

5% on headlights is just plain stupid unless you NEVER drive at night. Open them up and paint them.

Looks might be good but thats still blocking 80% of your light output. try the gtr style from blue bat. https://g35driver.com/forums/interio...neup-pics.html

You can PM bluebat he'll probably tell you... But it's not only noticeable but also illegal >.< it's like a big 'pull me over' sign =\

You want to use VINYL not tint.. You can get Vinyl just about anywhere. Tint wont hold up very long.

If you're doing cutouts you can use any shade you want. Darker would probably look better depending on what color your G is. Cutouts I'd go straight black or 5%.

I'm pretty sure he buys his vinyl in wholesale quantities why not just PM bluebat and see if he'll send you a few yards worth.
