You do realize he was being sarcastic, tinting headlights and taillights is not only ugly, cheap, and makes you look like a 16year old who just got their license, but its also incredibly dangerous

I have tinted head lights

But I think I didn't tint it like you want so..... I'd suggest to just use the lightest tint

In my opinion, you should just open the headlight housings and paint the chrome black instead. I think you will be much happier.

Don't ruin your unmolested series blue by painting everything.
