I was thinking on tinting my headlights, but not sure whats the limit so I dont get pull over or something. I want my lights to illuminate too of course...

BTW, are they like dark-tinted hard covers (meaning I replace my current ones) or the usual tint thing they put on windows?

Thanks.
 
Search for Rockblocker. I just bought some to tint my headlights, taillights, foglights, and my reflectors. Ill post pics when I get em
 
Here are some smoked rockblockers on a lava orange hatch (not mine). Bear in mind that this guy has HIDs. He also did the fogs/tails.

yeah i got rockblockers on my headlights, taillights, fogs and reflectors.
They are really nice and rockblocker has 2 tones (one darker). It is removeable but not reusable if you get tired of them at one point.
 
I have a 3i, its the same s*** right? can I still gte them? I dont have fogs though.
 
Just got an idea. EDIT: I saw one pair(set of 2) H7 Hyper White Xenon Gas HID Headlight Light Bulbs on ebay for 4 + 6 shippin (10$). HIDs are better than the stocks (halogens) right? Will I drive OK with those?

I definately know that with the halogens I wont see s***...they are not very good at illuminating already. So Im trying to save some time/money before I buy the fogs which are 80. Im buying too much s*** already.

uh no. dont do it.
those are not HIDs, they are imitation HIDs and they will look like crap. If you want HID you need to get a conversion Kit. The kit costs about 250 including the bulbs, so believe me, you are not getting HIDs for 10 bucks.
You can get better Halgone bulbs, a little more white and some extra light oputput for like 30 bucks i think.
 
I just installed the rockblocker taillight covers today and they look sexy; also removed the side moldings. Here are some pics:

Karma hunden,
If you haven't done anything already and you still have a rally white car, check out these pics first.
(I know, some of you have seen these before... Sorry.)

These are the blue Rockblockers on my Rally White. For about $60 yours can look like this, you won't need new bulbs and these won't burnout or burn your wiring. They tint the light just a bit, but don't cut output like fake HID's (I tried them too. Don't waste your money) and smoke tinted covers will.
Even RockBlockers site, or anyone who's being honest about it, will tell you that.
