smoking headlights

Post by CorsaB1993 »

im thinking of smoking my headlights just to spice up the front of my corsa. ive smoked the back lights with 2 thick layers and they turned out good imo. does anyone know the legal amout of layers for headlights or have any advise they could give me?

i think thats the best idea, ive seen a few people that have done the reflective part of the light on saxo's before. so the outer shell is clear but inside is black

i might give that a go :) would it be the same paint? ive sprayed the tail lights with light spray paint but obviously the headlights get hot and the paint would be on the inside
