doh! just realized i can't tint my headlights unless i do that whole thing where you bake your headlights to melt the seal down and stuff... too much work haha.


and i don't think just side markers and taillights and/or third brake light would look good... i think it's you do everything, or none of them at all...

unless somebody can convince me otherwise hah.
