what u mean is custom painted headlights.

cannot do diy as it is hard and possibility of breaking ur headlights is high

i heard people put their headlights in oven for a while to loosen the seals to open (hence why possibility of break is so high)

Look around in yellowpages i guess... usually this job is done for 300-500 bux and if ur lucky maybe cost u more, good luck.

fine fine i make it more neat.

buy headlight cover from toyota.

buy spray tint, tint inside of headlights,

slap em on.

i dont think u can do this after u get ur eyelids tho :P

cops will give u heaps of **** but just take it off i suppose.

beter then tinting your real headlights then u cant reverse that.

i saw this mod on the sp23 the red one it was awsome.

or you could just leave steve alone... ive wanted to see a corolla with tinted headlights for a while, and i have no idea about the problems you can face with tinting your headlights(except cop trouble)... these sites exist so people can LEARN, not get flamed for trying to boost their knowledge... you could have made your little suggestion about headlight covers and NOT told him he was stupid for asking.

get a life. and learn to spell. and learn to use some punctuation every once in a while.

you go tom!

besides, i think u missed the point completely vyets...

he doesnt want the front of the headlights tinted, he wants the inside of the headlights tinted, like pippy did.

pippys headlight

very possible to do steve, but difficult, throw pippy a PM and see if he can give u some advice (unless i missed the point and this isnt what u wanted lol)

when i figure out how to take the lights off il do it!

i did it a few nights ago, sprayed some of the inside bits black, DIY yo! took about 2.5 hours all up to do, looks a bit meaner, but i didnt spray much of it, havent done the other side yet, but looks meaner :) :)

used a heat gun to seperate the light, when i was doing it i was thinkg damn, time to go wreckers for a new headlight, but it turned out! need to silicon it up though!

pete i reckon cos you have chrome tail lights, you should keep your head lights chromed up too... especially with the white wheels... i really like the way your car is red and highlighted in white/chrome all over the place...

Thanks bro! might leave it then! But a slight front tint would look ok.

Maybe someone should post up a workshop instructional how to? - i'd love to get instructions and pics on how to do this :D

but apparently you need to silicone the lights shut! To me thats dodge! :)
