Try Big Worm Motorsports (www.bigwormgraphix.net) Based in Fort Worth. Just got my full set of lights done. Looks awesome - best thing is that you can take them off in the future. Just an FYI don't try to use window tint - it's too light weight.

I know, I know

I will post pics soon....

Thanks! Below is a picture of the Gun Smoke headlight tint. This is a 12% tint, we also offer a 7% tint if you would like less tint.

Would that tint greatly affect visibility at night? If so, how about the lighter tint? I was thinking about switching the oem ring with a much brighter LED ring from lightwurkz, and tint the headlights to get something similar to the pic below, (maybe the brighter LED ring may help with reduced brightness from tint?)

Most people don't notice a reduction in night time visibility, the halos are almost too bright from the factory and the tint helps to keep from blinding on-coming drivers. We have been selling the product for almost a year and so far have had 1 customer that has had night time visibility problems.

purchased 6% headlights and 17% all around. My fog lights were replaced by aftermarket LED halos from lightwurkz. They are wayyyy brighter than the oem halo rings in the headlights above them soo it looks kind of awkward. Hopefully the darker tint in the fogs will make them look somewhat even, I jus hope I didnt goo TOOO dark with the 17%....well see when they arrive next week, ill try and post some pics

Will the Headlight tint go onto hids? When I was searching the net, seemed like all the tint was for non-hid headlamps

check user Black10, he sells tint for the lenses

You can use any of the various headlight protection kits with factory HID's. The darkest version we offer is not intended for street use though I am sure some people do... As the Camaro's lights are small and recessed all the kits are going to appear darker than they would on something with a large exposed chrome reflector headlight housing.

We have a lot of additional information in our vendor thread here

The tint will go on hid lights, the plastic covers have a problem with hid lights. We have installed tint on several cars with hid lights with no problems.
