As a fellow addicted modder, i come to fellow addicts with an idea.

Tint the front headlight, stealthy look, 5 percent, and cut out only the eyebrow so it viciously shines through, and is only noticeable, and with gp thunder angel eyes...

picture it

now respond

i will most likely end up doing it, not sure!!!

On LCI AEs are brighter than pre-LCI, so it might actually work. I have it tinted the other way - my eyebrows are tinted and the hl itself is not, but my eyebrow tint is light smoke, so it is barely noticeable.

I've never understand the need for tinting headlights. You need the brightness, so you can see at night. So why dim it with the tint? But that's me. Do what you like.

check out old pics of member socalbimmer, he had the stealth look with smoked headlights until he changed to an overall cleaner less aggressive look

I don't personally like the tinted headlights at all. I think the headlights are one of the nicest parts of the car, why cover it up and decrease light output?
