Tinting headlights?

Would it be ok for me to go to a tinting shop and tint my headlights and brake lights? Say 35%? Anybody do this? Would this cause any problems?

You should check your local laws. But typically it is illegal to do like blue. Just check your laws. Also the tint shop in your area would know.

Some states it's illegal to have any tint at all on your headlights. I believe you'd be safer painting the inside of them. As for pics, here you go.

In my state any type of overlay or tint that changes the color from white is illegal. Didn't stop me from doing what I did. (see build thread at bottom of first post)
