Darken headlights for a blacked out look?

[PreguntsAnswrs]

Y’all done this safely? Got pics?
Is it also possible to darken the plastic trim above the wheels? And darken the 20 inch cyberstream wheels? (they look dark gray to me)

Wrapping entire vehicle in SunTek satin black PPF and want to darken everything possible.

there’s no way to darken headlights legally and also retain the same level of safety. If you want to put tinted PPF film over the headlights you’ll reduce your headlight output both to your perception and to others. Fine on a show car, but if you drive at all at night, you may or may not get a ticket depending on where you live and you will increase your likelihood of accidents.

For wheels you can get them powder coated even darker, and for trim you can find a shop to paint, or see if you can get your PPF shop to wrap them in matte black or something.
