      nah it looks nicer white cuz it contrasts the black perfectly

      I think it will protect your headlights from sun and element damage. Looks good.

    Love the smoked. Def suits your car imo. You shoulda recorded peeling off that top layer. I love doing that 😂

    Love the smoked look! I have this car and am going to try it myself.

    NICE! Wasn't sold on it until I put some on my accord! Worked well. Little easier with a heat gun, but comes out well.

    If it doesn't affect the lighting at night by much, keep the tint

    Smoked! Helps protect and keep clean

    Ive been waiting for someone to make a vid on how to wrap xgen civic headlights!! Wouldve been way better if only there was more light so we could see how you went and did those 2 parts of the light that sticks out..the top and bottom...😮‍💨 ive been struggling with those parts!...ive cut a slit on the corner parts and kinda fold it over...hahaha

    Ehh I’m the same man 50/50 but like you said it grows on you lol, always been a fan of tinted headlights! maybe when you get your fog lights and tint em as well then yea it will look sick bro!!

  • @HugoTeixeira7
    @HugoTeixeira7 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I actually like it smoked 👍🏻 looks like a pain in the ass to do it with out taking out the headlights on the car

    • @accordance73
      @accordance73 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      thats what i was thinking, removing the headlights would be easier plus you can wrap the wrap around the back edges to give it extra grip

  • @jasonvoecks2671

    The tinted look really cool 👍

  • @sadmanakhtarseyam5193
    @sadmanakhtarseyam5193 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Does it affect the lighting at night or it is the same?? Can we please have a picture of the lights on at night?
    Great job btw👌✌

    • @ChrisLowpes
      @ChrisLowpes  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yea it does affect it a bit

  • @jhephoy510
    @jhephoy510 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Clear makes more sense it will not lessen much of the light output of the headlight imo

  • @jjwill9982
    @jjwill9982 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    possible to tint the rear lights. I want to tint the rear. dont plan to touch the front as will impact the light output.

    • @ChrisLowpes
      @ChrisLowpes  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yea it’s definitely possible but I don’t think I will

  • @perjian1697
    @perjian1697 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    It's a lot easier if you start by cutting down the sheet to a couple inches larger than the area you need to cover. Rather than just using the whole sheet as shown in the video. Just an FYI.

  • @michelled2764
    @michelled2764 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    OEM is definitely a cleaner look. Our headlights have a pearlescent look to em in the light (which I personally like). Does the tint cover that up? Or can you tell?

    • @ChrisLowpes
      @ChrisLowpes  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The tint does cover it up, I’m a big fan of that pearl look too. I think I may keep them clean.

  • @BrandonElliotSmith
    @BrandonElliotSmith ปีที่แล้ว

    Even though it would be for a Tahoe w/ headlights nowhere near as narrow... Man if I can muster up the patience... TO BE DETERMINED lol....

  • @ToneGTran

    Smoked tint ftw!

  • @theedwardbrad48
    @theedwardbrad48 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    It would of helped to spray down the surface & the sticky Side of the tint & squeegee out the bubbles.. well at least in my opinion. I’m getting a 16’ Ex & swapping out the stock headlights for the ones you have... love em. Will definitely add the tint on before installing😂 what % did you use?

  • @faudzeemokhtar908

    Hey Chris I’ve been following you since you got the 10th gen, I put almost everything you put on that car , but with all those bolt on, it is good to stay on tsp? Or get a tune on a dyno?

    • @ChrisLowpes
      @ChrisLowpes  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      The tsp tune is safe but you can maximize your power with a custom tune

  • @cirwo85

    Tint makes it look more from future/better. But set minds on things above where christ is 👍

  • @bennyquilantang4868
    @bennyquilantang4868 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Only takes 5 to ten min to take off the eyebrow trim above the headlight makes it easier

  • @ifGarage
    @ifGarage 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Honestly they look pretty much the same. May as well not tint them on my opinion. However it would work well to protect the headlight.

  • @daynerampersad8968
    @daynerampersad8968 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    why dont you get a set of 2020 headlights with the black housings which give the same effect without sacrificing the light output

  • @nidakdilahk9204
    @nidakdilahk9204 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Why don’t you take the head light out then tint it and put it back in?

  • @jantamase9884
    @jantamase9884 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Chris, which color tint did you get? And does it cover the DRL during the day? Or lessen it? Thankss

    • @ChrisLowpes
      @ChrisLowpes  4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Does it lose light output by much?

    • @bmacster1985
      @bmacster1985 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      When a buddy and I did it to his older mustang a while back we just went to autozone and got a set of 8 or 10K bulbs and it helped offset the slight loss of light, and it also helps the dim the bright white/bluish glare those bulbs seem to give off.

    dude that is too dark, my first vehicle i got them darker than your and i couldn see the lights on at night (candle/low bright) i do not recommend super dark but it looks sick, i been using light smoke on my latest cars including my civic. Light smoke trust me amigo, you gonna lose a lot of the headlight brightness. thx for the video
