Post by: huggy54 on March 26, 2017, 02:23:12 pm
As the title reads

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

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 (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)

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
