Default Tinted my fogs and night runners pics

got my Lamin-x tint this weekend and just finished tinting my fogs and the orange strip on the night runners. Just wish it was a little darker on that orange strip but the installation was smooth and i think it turned out good.

Looks good. How is the light output from the fogs with the tint on them?

Looks good! One question, Did you use the Tint or Gunsmoke? Looks like the Gunsmoke is a bit darker on thier website!

Gunsmoke, and i suggest just buying a bulk roll and cutting your own circles for the fogs. Because i actually bought the "tint" pre-cuts for my fogs and they really weren't dark at all so i used the extra "gunsmoke" that i had from the bulk roll for the headlights to make my own circles for the fogs. Plus the pre-cuts were a little small, with the bulk sheet you have plenty of room to make your own a little bit bigger.

That looks awesome! Have a quetion for all of you real quick. I really want to do something to my headlights, as far as tint, painting the inside, something. I can't really afford to buy the nightrunners, as much as I LOVE them, and I don't have the ***** yet to tear'em open and painting the stockers. So the next option would be tinting of course. Problem with that is the fuzz isn't too fond of tinted lights around here. If I did the heads the same shade as your fogs, would it be worth it? It looks like they're just light enough to keep the boys off my back, but Im not sure if it would be dark enough to contrast the chrome in the stockers. Any opinions? Should I just grow a pair and paint the insides to get the real desired effect?

Thanks OP, sorry for any hijacking. I love what you've done, looks awesome my friend!
