Why would you want to decrease the lighting output of the headlight?

I like how it says "this product for off road use only" Left out "is" and they show it on a car tail light. Ya cause I off road cars all the time. haha. Seems to make me wonder how well this product actualy works.

Heat up the tint film to get it to stretch a little to get around the contours of the lights... You are only going to get it to stick to the face of the tail light and not wrap around the edges so you are still going to see red from the sides...

I know people who have used the spray tint on tail lights of cars. Looks good and works well if you do it right. There is some prep work that needs to be done before you just go and spray it on. You can add a clear coat to it and buff it to a shine too... When I find some time I plan on doing it to the tail lights on my truck.

the paper way didnt work(plastic).
and i dont want to use the paint because this way i can just remove the plastic and there it is stock again.

[250ex_dan]

can a hair dryer help heat the material?
i tried and it didn't work,just thought i did something wrong so thats why i ask

[250ex_dan]

well its been awhile and i tinted the back light in the middle with teh film and looks great!

[250ex_dan]

after months of trying and giving up,i tried shoe wax(for dress shoes) and it turnrd out decent.It looks okay and you can make it really dark or light.It can be removed by scrubing and using water.The only thing is that you have to make it as even as possible so that the layers arent noticeable.Thanks to those that toke the time to reply and comment

I tint lights all the time all kinds of colors, mostly automotive but there isnt any difference if I did an atv light. For me its reall easy but for a novice I wouldnt try it

my truck tailights, also when you tint them they may be dark but when you hit the brakes or turn on the lights they allow most of the light to filter through, ive never had a problem with them.
