Default How to tint head and fog lights?

If you have seen the TEC Corrado, that is what I am trying to do. I was wondering if it is possible with any kind of paint? How do you attach an image for your desktop?[/img]

if your talkin about just in general tinting the headlights or tails.....theres a way to do it IMO....tails and side markers are one story and headlights are completely diffrent....with the tailights and sided....not an extreme amount of light is goin out but with the headlights there is....so this is why with tinted headlights ur more likely to get ticketed unless they are OEM....but if ur tinting anything and not getting smoked ecodes which i dont think they made for the raddo anyway (somone correct me if im wrong) then i would use "tint shades" ....10 bucks for a can and be light with the layers and hold the can far away as to prevent running cause with this stuff its easy....good luck man

I'm sure you can tint your own headlights, but I'd be hesitant about doing it. You don't want to mess with your "beams" (for use of better words). I'd say find a set that are already tinted that are DOT approved.

and to post a pic:
