Glass headlamp tint?

[willys-gasser]

I've seen some Stockers with colored glass headlamps, what are you using? Looking to do orange on mine, tried window tint with no luck. Any help?

Krylon makes a stained glass paint, I used the blue on my headlights a couple years ago, glass bead blasted them first, still look great and can see return road at night, obviously not as good now as untinted but the look is worth it

Tinted headlamps are an old trick that dates back to the 60s. It's just candy color spray paint. I went to the Hobby Shop and got candy apple red model car paint. Just clean the glass good with lacquer thinner and spray. I continue to get questions " where did you get those red lights..... "

I use vht anodize paint. Just clean glass good then warm up with heat gun and spray. They are foggy for a few minutes, but dry clear. I've been doing it that way since 1978!

Works great for rejuvenating those old tail light lenses too.

I have a set of lightweight replacements that are a tri bar design. But they only emit the color when turned on due to a colored cap. Its something Dad tripped over for his car, and we started selling them.
