Redid my Headlight tint / Went with blue

So 3 years ago I tinted my headlight with smoke tint and loved the way they looked. In the past few months the tint has gone bad and need replacing.

I ordered this Blue tint and applied it today.

I think I lkike it but it may take awhile to get used to the bright "look at me headlights after being used to the smoke hidden lights Im used to.

What do ya think.

pics should be up in a second....

Ok here they are.

Here is the old dark smoke tint..



And here is the new blue tint






Okay let me have it.
DO you like them?
I think it really make the car look like a girl or girly, with the bright eyes, which is okay because my wife drives it and I only drive it maybe once a week.

Comments - good or bad, lets hear em'

TY TY,, real sweet. I used to embarrass a lot of hot rodders with that 340hp 429 cadi. They did have a weak external oil pump though.

personally not a fan of the blue, just looks a bit too bright Cyan for me, but if it was going to look good on any color it would be yours. I have been thinking about doing mine in smoke for awhile, where did you get them?

I like the darker smoked better. the blue is a little too bright.

also think the smoke would work better with the present grill

I like the smoked much better but the blue isn't too bad. Maybe just a little too bright.

Is that the Lamin-X tint?

I had thought about do this a while back and just kind of shelved the idea.
After seeing the out come, I like the look of the Fall Edition head lights a bit better.

Doesn't look bad, but not what I would've wanted.
