Smoked headlights

Yes or no?
I would love to get the dark headlight option from the factory, however it is not available for the LED lights. This was the next best option.
This is the light smoked tint film from Suncoast

. Looks darker than in real life- it was an overcast day when I took these photos.

I think it is too dark, and would have kept the stock headlights look personally.

I think it looks good, but you might want to verify that it is legal in Georgia. I seem to remember my Speed Film guys saying you cannot legally cover headlights in Georgia. I live in the ATL also. But if you did, it is not to say you would ever get hassled about it either.

yes, got some exterior oil based paint at Home Depot. It wasn't that bad putting it on. Wipes off with a little paint thinner.

I'll play dumb and tell them it came from the factory like that. We'll see.

The LEDs on my TTS are the best headlights I have ever had on a car.

Updated: trimmed the outer edge to lessen the smoke effect

Looks much better w/ edge trimmed, IMHO. Does it noticeably diminish the light output?

OP, I notice your CZW option (extended dashboard in leather) does not come with matching black leather, what's the story on that?


Edited: Oh, I realized it was originally red interior, then added the black leather on dashboard and upper door panels.
