    Default R Vinyl Headlight Tint Film? Colour?

    I was thinking about getting a headlight tint as I saw the blue tint on a silver mazda and it looked great. The problem is I have a 2004 Winning Blue Mica M3 GT.

    Would blue be overkill you think? Do you have any suggestions of what would look good.. also I already have HID's and am planning on getting Angel Eyes.. I don't want to overdo it.. would this be too much?

    All opinions welcome!

    After taking a look around I get the feeling that not only are they illegal (H.T.A) they look kinda ricey. Although since I have HID's already and blue foglights are a long ways in my future how would that be as an alternative, blue tint film for the fogs?

    Any blue lights on your car is strictly illegal.

    I always wondered just how blue the light output would be through film if you were using a 4300K HIDs.....will you even notice the tint when the light's turned on? Maybe it would just make 4300K appear like 6000-8000K?

    matching the colour temperature always looks classy. 3k in the fogs is a nice look too.

    After what point does the k-value become illegal due to its blueness?

    It's all illegal. Any aftermarket modifications to your lighting system are illegal technically
