As the title reads

im trying to find some smoked/black or tinted headlights for my ed30.

these are the ones with black inserts and i do like them http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i120/edinvan/DSCF1385.jpg

but i also like these tinted headlights http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLACK-SMOKED-HEADLIGHTS-HEADLAMPS-FOR-VW-GOLF-MK-5-JETTA-III-H7-NICE-GIFT-/331837526475?hash=item4d430ed1cb:g:WqwAAOSwxN5WYiGj

cant decide on which ones look better?????????????

any ideas where i can get either ones like these from? does anyone on this forum do headlight tinting as an alternative?

thanks in advance

Have you considered LaminX  much cheaper than exchanging lights and a lot easier to get rid of if you revert back :happy2:
 Different colours available too :jumpmove:

No skill needed to do it, hair dryer and a stanley knife.

Definitely an easy diy.

Remove the headlight to give a cleaner finish.

Could always get it done at a place that does car wrapping or window tinting. My local place that does window tinting does Lamix light wrapping
