Smoked headlights??

[jayely1]

Just curious if anyone has done this (especially on a midnight silver) and could post some photos?? Also, does it block a noticeable amount of light?

saw in another thread a blue MY w/smoked headlights. They look good. I'm considering on my White Y. My auto guy says it does cut down on the light -- hence maybe illegal. Dumb question but does it also alter the auto sensor of the headlights coming on?

I am tempted to crack open the headlights and "de-chrome" the interiors. But this involves removing the bumper, heating the headlights, then removing all the chrome you want painted... then reverse install. I've done it before, and it looks amazing.

There is a company that does this, as well as some led work(teslux innovations). Idk if the headlights are butyl sealed or permaseal. I'd be afraid of damaging them myself. I heard there are a upgraded version of the lights coming out and was going to wait until those are readily available before I did any customizing.

Yep - I’ve already been in touch w TesLux - I like their lighting options, but I don’t need that extra show lighting. What I really want is the smoked look on the inside of the housing.

I know TesLux is located in Oregon and I’m tempted to see if I can work out a deal.

This is what I’m looking for or similar.

Between the paint, the headlights, the wheels, and the angle of the photo making the car look extra aggressive, the pic of that 3 is unbelievably hot.

Every car shop I've about this have advised against doing this. They all state the seal does not last and water eventually gets in and these lights are expensive. I ended up using a dark tint on the outside of the lights. When I wrapped the entire light it looked really cool (sorry I do not have a picture) however it noticeably reduced lighting at night. So I ended cutting out the center area and got the best of both worlds.

Looks Great! What are those aero pieces that you’ve added to the bumper?

This looks great! Perhaps this is what I'll attempt. Can you take a picture from the top side - near the front bumper?
This is just smoked vinyl?

I did this in 3 layers. (1) black vinyl to black the chrome. (2) Dark Smoke tint film (3) Covered the entire light with clear PPF to prevent potential peeling and lessening the visibility of the edges of the film.

HAHAHAHAHA! Of course it's illegal. Your insurance is at risk if you're involved in an accident and the adjuster is paying attention.

I bought the xpel cutouts from RPMTesla, though in the picture it looks a bit cloudy because this was after a 800mi drive, it was a bit dirty at that time.
