Aye.. fresh cut bruh 💪🏿💪🏿🐲
Yes, yes my friend!
Good video. I just ordered some. I’ll be tinting the lights on my riding mower, ATV, and Silverado
Riding mower! Gotta cut in style!!! Love it.
@@shometint Yeah, it’s the red one in my profile picture. I have already made many other mods to it. Thanks.
Definitely subscribing. This dudes cool
Thanks Tony 😊
Cool video, thanks! I wonder if a 1-way reflective clear or light tint would look cool on headlights.
I'm not sure, give it a try and let us know!!!
nice and easy thanks
You're welcome!
Super helpful bro I got some chameleon tint I’m about to try this
Get it! Share the results!
Thanks for this video. About to tint my tail lights. Good stuff. Cheers!
Let us know how it turns out!
@@shometint Well, I have done one tail light so far. I would give it a B+. However, I destroyed the first sheet of material trying. The problem is my tail light is an extremely challenging shape I now realize. Its curved the entire way, and is long all the way to a sharp point. The material wants to bunch up. Imagine a very elongated teardrop, cut in half. Its not the point part is hard. Its the spherical section. But, not impossible. I will post a final photo somewhere and link it. Thanks again.
@@shometint Damn I just watched the video again and realize I didn't follow how you did it exactly. I'm going to correct and try it on the second. You start in the middle of the light, and I started on an edge. Let's see how number 2 goes more closely following you. Thanks.
@@LIVEEVENTINNOVATIONS practice makes perfect. We are always learning. 💪
Second one, also B+ (Acceptable on my "Restoration of 2007 Honda Accord Coupe Racer). Requires more practice. HAHA@@shometint
Thanks 💯
You are welcome
Going to give it a try, but I believe you made it look easy. Thanks!
You can do it!
Amazing😊
Hope this video helps you out!
Im trying this today
Let us know how it goes!
Thank you brother
You are welcome!
Great video
Thanks, I hope it helped you!
I used water first time with heat gun. No bubbles. Just tinted them again with divx last week. No water and a heat gun again. No bubbles after I finished , even 24hrs later. Figured I was good. Now they look like they have teenage acne. I’m gonna try and find this brand of tint. Dreading removing the adhesive for a 2nd time. Thanks for the video man
Several methods to do it, but results can vary. Glad the video can help ya!
@@shometintdude I don’t think you needed to water if the tint already has adhesive I maybe wrong but u just clean your lights and stick it on like he just did
You mentioned debris pickup from bad paint. If your lens is fading or crusty, the film will stick to the failing surface and not the lens.
Was a crazy, but expected surprise on my wife's WRX. Keep up the good work!
Great point!
great video
Thank you!
cool guy, cool install
You're making me blush... 😋
Yea I went and did this to my headlight (okay job for my first time) but in retrospect, I probably should have watched a video like yours. I’m gonna re do it with newfound knowledge
We are always learning. You'll do a better job next time! 😉
Thanks ill try my
Let us know how it goes!
Thanks 🎉
You're welcome!
Subbed! Thanks
Thanks for the sub!
Great help, thank you. What headlight (on your head) do you use?
It's Snap-On brand. Thank you!
Dazed and confused...great job 💪
Thank you!
Thank you.
Glad it was helpful. Any questions, feel free to ask!
Thank you
You are welcome!
thank you for posting this . very helpful , but what about prep ? just clean with isopropyl alcohol ?
Glad you got some use from it!!!
Ordered my film and ive done window tint maybe 20 times with minimal issues.. the concave headlights are hard as shit to get all the fingers out. Id say this would be an easier headlight to tint, but sure made LIGHT work of it
Some headlights ARE easier than others. Sounds like you know all about it 😆
I'm sitting on the toilet watching this before I go and put neo chrome tint on my 4runner headlights and fog lights 😂 thanks for this video man much love from San antonio Texas
Lol love it!!!
Lol! Your transparency is oddly refreshing 🥴🤣
How did it turn out? I'm about to attempt this on my Juke now... I'm so excited to see how it turns out!
Great video man. Thinking I will use a hair dryer in replacement of a heat gun, do you think that would work?
Thanks. As much as I'd like to say yes, I just don't think a hair dryer can get to a high enough temp.
Yeaaah you just saved me $100 I’m about to do this rn😭😂😂
Good luck!!!
The tint wizard
I can dig that name LOL!!!
Excellent stuff! How much would I need for the headlights of a mini cooper? Don’t have the vehicle yet, but it’s in transit. Just earned a sub!
I'm not sure of the head light size. Measure it up and then account for a little extra, in case you mess up.
🔥🔥🔥
Fire baby!!!! 🔥
came out great and i noticed you didn't spray the headlight or tint with water than apply.
This was very helpful. I have a motorcycle that I just purchased a sticker kit for. Do you have a video on that???
We have one coming up very soon with us adding a kit to a side by side. That would be a very similar application.
@@shometint awesome. Looking forward to seeing it.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love the support brotha!
How do you wrap the little interior trim. Like around air vents and such
Sometimes we remove it and have it auto flexed but if the surface is flat and smooth we are able to wrap it. Please be careful when trimming those pieces out because customers hate it when you cut the car. 😉
Great video and thanks.
How much light do you loose?
It depends on the film you choose to use. If it's a decent brand, they should have a website that gives those details.
@@shometint thank you!
Im here for the Tortillas. 😃
Ha! You've got it!
I have to dew a Nissan leaf 🌿 thanks for the pep talk
Anytime, my friend!
Is this material same as laminate x?
Hope you did something about that orange indicator.
We do whatever the customer wants 😉
Where’d you pick up your “headlights” flashlights? those are handy!
They are snap-op brand!
nice guy
I like you!
I got a roll of blue film to do my headlights from Temu for a ridiculous $1.60
Lots of options out there and it's a VERY affordable mod 👌
@@shometinthow did it go ? Is it holding up good? A lot of folks seriously recommended to not buy headlight tints from temu special based off the price because it’s bad quality and your headlights will cause mini acne looking bubble from the heat caused by the headlights being hot
I have a bike though, lots of sharp edges on the front headlights and the rear one is quite literally a 3D shape so it has 90° angles... even with a heat gun it's so hard
I want to do this on mine but how much does it kill the headlight output at night? Or does it not at all?
It depends on the shade. A lighter tint will allow almost all the light to pass through.
What does the light look like on now, does it change colour
Color won't change, intensity will be slightly reduced. With how bright modern car headlights are, you most likely won't have an issue.
Woooooo
You made it look so easy bro I keep getting wrinkles 😂
You can do it!
Trying to tint my headlights. Should I spray the tint and or headlight with soapy water? Would a hair dryer be suffient enough if I'm scared a heat gun will damage my car?
You can do it wet, but doing it dry would be the way we would recommend it be installed.
A heat gun is what we would recommend. The film is supposed to be post heated to 200° and a hair dryer won't get it that hot.
You could remove your headlights prior to installation if you're afraid of your paint getting too hot.
@@shometint thank you! I'm trying to do as much as I can to my car myself. Before I go to any shops. This is helpful.
my god , i tried using vvivd wrap , i thought i was going to have a stroke , it was thick film
I did it
Awesome job!
Can you use a hair dryer for heat instead?
I have never seen a hair dryer that can get to 200 degrees. Pretty sure a hair dryer that hot would melt your hair, 😆
so you don't have to spray water or anything, when you ready to put the tint ?
Great question and no. You want to clean the surface before you apply the tint.
For my Acura TSX 2005, should I use dark or mid smoke for the tinting?
We like using the mid smoke! But darker might look better with your paint color.
@@shometint Okay thank you! Do you think dark smoke would make my lights too dim?
@@rikkipayne8832 Every car will be a little different. Only one way to find out!
Is the headlight perform the same or it got dim? I want to do it to my car also?
Depending on what shade of film you go with, it can allow up to 98% of the light to pass through. Specifics can be found at the manufacturer's website.
so whats the difference between window tint and headlight tint?
Both are made for their specific applications. You would not get the desired results if you were to switch the roles of the material.
One is meant for inside, away from the elements. The other is designed for outdoor use and has more flexible properties to curve around newer more challenging angles some new lights have. Window tint would not survive such severe turns/curves that the headlights have.
Your film looks more soft , I just made mine 10 minutes ago but the film was very rigid , unbelievable hard to pull it and give shape
Luxe film is what we use. Can't speak for other brands, but I'm sure other brands can work just as well.
I don’t have a heat gun . What can I use instead of this ?
I'm not sure. I don't think a hair dryer can get hot enough. Borrow a heat gun from a friend :)
Where u get them jeans I like those
They are BKE, from the buckle.
@@shometint thanks
hahaha, "22 by 12, it's packing heat"
You know it! 😆 🤣
Is that static cling tint?
No, it has adhesive on the back.
Does the tint dull the brightness of the light?
The manufacturers website lists how much light gets past the tint. I believe the lightest tint allows up to 98% of the light to pass through.
Noice
Thanks!
What percentage for headlight tint is recommended
We like the lightest shade as it gives it a tinted look and doesn't block too much light projecting out the headlight.
It looks easy but i have a 2018 F150 with a big bump
Try it and if it's too hard, bring it in. We were new to it once before 💪
@shometint I wish I can I'm in Louisiana lol I'm gonna give it a try
@CrunchDramaNetwork let us know how you do!
what % is it? i want mine a slight bit lighter
This company offers 3 different levels, this was the middle.
Light will be effected in night driving or not???
The film allows up to 98% of visible light to come through. The manufacturers website should show how much light can pass through depending on the darkness of the film you choose.
So what percentage % I should apply
mine keeps folding up in the corners
What kind of vehicle are you working on?
Do you tint the back and front or just the front?
Just one headlight to show the process. If you watch till the end you'll see how easy removal is.
Won’t the headlights get too hot and melt the tint????
We have never had that problem with the headlights we have tinted.
