Hey guys was just wondering can I tint/smoke my standard headlights by myself?

Thanks

^This.
But if you're still interested you need to put them in the oven to melt the glue, then split them with a screwdriver etc, then spray paint the inner frames black and put them back together. Then you can either re-glue them or put them back into the oven to heat the original glue back up so they stick.

Thanks for all the feedback I don't think the miss's would be happy if I stole some rights I'll try with my heat gun see if I can split them, if I break them then I'll fork out for depos just thought I'd try and save a bit of money
