Either way I know the cops will give you trouble, My friend Nick had yellow BULBS in his integra and got 3 tickets for them in less than a month (horsham cops) so he finally took them out, and then just the other night, Dennis with the black supercharged civic (he is on TST) got pulled over and got a ticket for his headlights being tinted yellow... So just be careful

i have the yellow film over my headlights, imo they look bad on ALL cars including mine, but i do it for the protection aspect. i put em on right b4 i raced at lime rock

heres a pic for reference for ya

edit, forgot to tell you, i asked a police officer b4 i installed them to see if they were legal. he said as long as it doesnt change the color of the light beam then its ok. and for most cars, its gonna change the color of the beam.

if you have HID like me it wont be such a drastic change, mine are barely different at all, but if u have standard bulbs then yes they will look pee yellow and u will draw attention.

imo the smoked style is even dumber bc itll darken the color from the bulbs, the yellow at least is still bright. but thats just from what ive seen. if it isnt for some real important reason then dont bother, i see it as lose lose for anyone doing it for a look

Tinted headlights are great but you can't see **** at night. I couldn't even with my HID's so the tint film was pulled off. Heres a photo of the old setup.
