Yellow Headlight Tint or Smoke Tint on a Whiteout? HELP D:
 
So,
I dropped so much money lately and am gonna wait a few months before getting new headlights and tail lights. In the mean time I'm going to tint my front headlights to add some swag, problem is I cant choose a color.

So the question is...
Yellow tinted headlights or Smoked black on a Whiteout FRS? BTW I will be using ebay headlight flm/tint. What you guys feeling more?

Smoked black on a white car sounds too strong of a contrast unless you're going for a black/white theme. Yellow sounds more subtle and stands out differently than if it was black, plus you can theme it out with yellow elsewhere to compliment the look.

At least that's what I'd think if it were me.

That's what I'm thinking. Just ordered my spoiler, aprons, lip and skirts and it's all going to be Gloss Black against Whiteout. In the ghetto's of los angeles where I'm from everyone and their grandma has blacked out lights. The yellow just looks different and seems a bit more "subie" to me.

Cut 'em open and paint the inside housings black, leave the lens clear. Looks way better and doesn't have a negative effect on the function.

But if you must go with either smoke or yellow tint... yellow because why would you put dark tint over your headlights...

Smoked looks far nicer. White with black accents goes together better than white with yellow accents due to the contrast.

Its a more striking look and yet, it stands out less than white on yellow since its such a different look. Its rare to see yellow front headlines so they stand out even more.

Plus with smoked headlights you should never make them very dark as that is SUPER dangerous/illegal. You just want them slightly darker than clear. Remember its called SMOKED for a reason, not black cloud.

I'd go with yellow.

Yellow looks like UV damage. The next owner will end up taking them here to get it fixed:
