Comment if you guys like the smoked look or OEM!!

[@micmia8259]

Smoked!🖤

[@activafeyt7493]

nah it looks nicer white cuz it contrasts the black perfectly

[@mbbrooks123]

I think it will protect your headlights from sun and element damage. Looks good.

[@BarbieBellemare]

Love the smoked look! I have this car and am going to try it myself.

[@ChrisLowpes]

Awesome!

[@teajae8809]

NICE! Wasn't sold on it until I put some on my accord! Worked well. Little easier with a heat gun, but comes out well.

[@mikec8590]

Just watched your how to. Mine came out ok. Couple mistakes but not bad for 1st time. I'll go back later and redo it. Thanks.

[@Pkdimmock]

Love the smoked. Def suits your car imo. You shoulda recorded peeling off that top layer. I love doing that 😂

[@wanDUUH]

Ive been waiting for someone to make a vid on how to wrap xgen civic headlights!! Wouldve been way better if only there was more light so we could see how you went and did those 2 parts of the light that sticks out..the top and bottom...😮‍💨 ive been struggling with those parts!...ive cut a slit on the corner parts and kinda fold it over...hahaha

[@adamleewh]

Clear is a nice contrast!

[@jessiedelcarmen8772]

Smoked! Helps protect and keep clean

[@boomshakalaka8054]

Clear looks cleaner

[@Bendoverz34]

Nah

[@dokkenp9037]

If it doesn't affect the lighting at night by much, keep the tint

[@alenric014]

Been waiting for this tbh

[@sadmanakhtarseyam5193]

Does it affect the lighting at night or it is the same?? Can we please have a picture of the lights on at night? Great job btw👌✌

[@ChrisLowpes]

Yea it does affect it a bit

[@michelled2764]

OEM is definitely a cleaner look. Our headlights have a pearlescent look to em in the light (which I personally like). Does the tint cover that up? Or can you tell?

[@ChrisLowpes]

The tint does cover it up, I’m a big fan of that pearl look too. I think I may keep them clean.

[@jjwill9982]

possible to tint the rear lights. I want to tint the rear. dont plan to touch the front as will impact the light output.

[@ChrisLowpes]

Yea it’s definitely possible but I don’t think I will

[@jasonvoecks2671]

The tinted look really cool 👍

[@HugoTeixeira7]

I actually like it smoked 👍🏻 looks like a pain in the ass to do it with out taking out the headlights on the car

[@accordance73]

thats what i was thinking, removing the headlights would be easier plus you can wrap the wrap around the back edges to give it extra grip

[@ihaveaname05]

Ehh I’m the same man 50/50 but like you said it grows on you lol, always been a fan of tinted headlights! maybe when you get your fog lights and tint em as well then yea it will look sick bro!!

[@jpyoungiii]

It looks good and keep up the good work

[@theedwardbrad48]

It would of helped to spray down the surface & the sticky Side of the tint & squeegee out the bubbles.. well at least in my opinion. I’m getting a 16’ Ex & swapping out the stock headlights for the ones you have... love em. Will definitely add the tint on before installing😂 what % did you use?

[@markvi_gti]

that blade you used scared me, definitely use a smaller blade when doing this lol

[@solidmasta1]

Hey Chris I’ve been following you since you got the 10th gen, I put almost everything you put on that car , but with all those bolt on, it is good to stay on tsp? Or get a tune on a dyno?

[@ChrisLowpes]

The tsp tune is safe but you can maximize your power with a custom tune

[@daynerampersad8968]

why dont you get a set of 2020 headlights with the black housings which give the same effect without sacrificing the light output

[@jantamase9884]

Chris, which color tint did you get? And does it cover the DRL during the day? Or lessen it? Thankss

[@ChrisLowpes]

I got smoke black and yea it does lessen the light out put

[@ThomasTardif-tp6fr]

You missed a stage you should be using spray solution that will help you remove bubbles you should spray the film and the headlight with a water and very lightly soap solution couple drops of soap solution in a spray bottle.

[@BrandonElliotSmith]

Even though it would be for a Tahoe w/ headlights nowhere near as narrow... Man if I can muster up the patience... TO BE DETERMINED lol....

[@nidakdilahk9204]

Why don’t you take the head light out then tint it and put it back in?

[@jhephoy510]

Clear makes more sense it will not lessen much of the light output of the headlight imo

[@zains3990]

Which tint did you use on the headlight light smoked or dark smoked tint?

[@ChrisLowpes]

I used smoke!

[@antonioalegria1412]

What front lip you got bro? I’m looking for one for one 2020 si

[@ChrisLowpes]

That’s a real fk8 type r lip modified to fit. I have a video on it, check it out!

[@ToneGTran]

Smoked tint ftw!

[@Sammo_7]

Did you get rid of the smoked headlights ?

[@ChrisLowpes]

Yea I ended liking the oem look better

[@alyssaespinoza9174]

Definitely 🔥🔥🔥

[@perjian1697]

It's a lot easier if you start by cutting down the sheet to a couple inches larger than the area you need to cover. Rather than just using the whole sheet as shown in the video. Just an FYI.

[@misstoes4270]

Where’d you get your rims from?

[@ChrisLowpes]

I bought them from a local guy

[@Handleunavailabl]

Could somebody put a type r lip / bumper on an ex or is it too different ?

[@austingedlick3727]

Eagle eyes asia makes a kit

[@faudzeemokhtar908]

Do it both brah. It looks aggressively nice

[@bennyquilantang4868]

Does it lose light output by much?

[@bmacster1985]

When a buddy and I did it to his older mustang a while back we just went to autozone and got a set of 8 or 10K bulbs and it helped offset the slight loss of light, and it also helps the dim the bright white/bluish glare those bulbs seem to give off.

[@ifGarage]

Honestly they look pretty much the same. May as well not tint them on my opinion. However it would work well to protect the headlight.

[@A46648]

looks good nice car

[@cirwo85]

Tint makes it look more from future/better. But set minds on things above where christ is 👍

[@bennyquilantang4868]

Only takes 5 to ten min to take off the eyebrow trim above the headlight makes it easier

[@truescotsman83]

Could you not do wet application ?

[@ChrisLowpes]

I’m sure you could but I decided to go dry

[@benhendershot2686]

Clear

[@mikeb5567]

Clear looks cleaner to me

[@larryksmith4873]

Smoked 👍

[@activafeyt7493]

clear

[@JulianRodriguez-vo7zn]

smoked!!!

[@unseriousliving7635]

Smoked!

[@milkshakeinc]

Tint the lights

[@Julio-bc7pj]

dude that is too dark, my first vehicle i got them darker than your and i couldn see the lights on at night (candle/low bright) i do not recommend super dark but it looks sick, i been using light smoke on my latest cars including my civic. Light smoke trust me amigo, you gonna lose a lot of the headlight brightness. thx for the video

[@ChrisLowpes]

Thanks for the input😁

[@Eatsalot1114]

Smoked all day

[@kalactose348]

Nice video but please say guys not "youtube"

[@Carlos-dm5fo]

“Can you see this” *leaves camera out of focus*

[@codyshowalter7128]

Pro tip remove the headlight

[@Mario-jj5wk]

[@Bendoverz34]
