Blacked out heads???

Just wondering if it was illegal in Cali to black out your heads the way u black out the tails with the tint spray also whether or not it would look good.

you mean spray paint the chrome housing so its black or adding a layer of tint over the headlamp itself (without going inside the headlight)?

in cali, law states you must have an amber, reflector, signal, and headlight bulb itself.

Tinting headlights = Illegal

Spraypainting the inside chrome = Legal... But, most cops can point out and say the lights are "dimmer" and **** you off.

Learn how to search better

Now why would you do such a thing? Of course it's gonna dim your headlights. Put a piece of cloth over your face - can you see now? Bet you cant.

Crashing at night because you cannot see is not worth the look

Thats just my opinion though

Well for me... Its 12:28AM, and im groggy... Plus you are asking questions that are common sense. Then you change your mind and decide you want to tint something else.

and yes... Im making myself feel better cause I didnt get laid today. Guess I have to wait till tomorrow when my gf gets back huh?

I wouldn't suggest tinting out your heads unless you tint it a color, like blue or red or something.. don't tint it black..

Tinting your tails is cool, alot of members have tinted their tails and actually have a decent outcome. Just your preference and what you think looks good..

What I do if i'm not sure is go through the member's rides section and just scroll through pics.. you can get alot of ideas, because people have done what you want to do, so it's a good way to find out if spending the money is really worth it.
