    I was wondering what opinions are out there about doing the BHLM/BTLM compared to just tinting them. I'm not a very good DIYer and would feel much mroe comfertable paying somebody to just tint them instead of me screwing them up. So... what do you guys think?

    P.S. If there's any pictures out there of tinted lights that'd be very helpful. I've seen plenty of the blacked out pics but none of tinted lights.

    BTLM is tinting them. and BHLM is the way to go for the front. im pretty sure its def not legal to just have them tinted over.

    tinting the headlights looks cheap and ghetto in my opinion.

    Just do the BHLM. Don't tint them. Personally I'm not a fan of the way they look tinted, not to mention it will take away functionality from your lights.
