    Has anyone used Niteshades on their headlights and if so how did it come out? It's great on taillights. I'm kinda hesitant about doing the BHLM and thought about doing a light coat on them just to give them a shade of darkness. Any thoughts?

    If you want to do something like this, buy the tinted lexan covers. That way you can take them off at night.

    Wow i had no idea. Thanks for the heads up guys. I just laminx my fogs for looks, but I never use the fogs, because in Hawaii it is not necessary. I'll be sure to never suggest that again after reading the other post.
