Default Re: Glass headlamp tint?

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..... "

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.
