Why would you destroy such nice headlights?!?!? you could've just tinted them. Wow i hate when people do this. Cheap civic way. Dont get me wrong your car looks great but the paint is going to be hard to take off.

dont worry it is very eary to take off I have done this before.
I use the toys model paint which come off so easy when I sell the car.
I done the tint before and in HK after a few months it starts to buble and peel off and it is also 10 time the price which is not worth it.
just to let you know it will come off after a year of car was every week, then I need to pray it again.
aslo it is nice light at start but after a few year this is what happens

I am not a fan of tinting the E60 headlights either.

If you are concerned for it to age or being damaged by elements and such, you can always put a clear vinyl type like clearbra or ventureshield on it to protect it?

There's a member on here that has done this, his car is 6-7 years old, and his headlights still looks new.

In HK it is very common to tint all the lights.
