Well if it makes a difference, I put yellow Laminex film on the fog lights in my Yaris, and I'm running 3K HIDs and they are pretty bright.

Yeah man.... it looks so frigggin' sick on our tC's....but after about a month I was tired of the really reduced visibility at night... and constantly having to strain to see things on the road.... I mean this is just my opinion...to each their own...but I'd hate to see you waste 40 bucks on getting them done and hate it.

yeah that's what I was running on my other tC...my 06....but on the headlamps... and not being optically clear made weird shadows on the road...they were bright...but just threw shadows...and that made it a pain.

3M Laminex film is good quality strong film.

Has anyone done the film on their 08+ headlights. I am trying to find something sick to do with them now that they are installed.

so even the yellow film makes the light come out weird? bummerrr. do you think that a very lightly smoked as in like just a littler darker than clear with some 10ks would project a shadow like you said?

with the 08 headlamps.... its not easy because of the contours that they have vs. the pre- 07 ones.

If you use film...the chance is there...even with a very good tinting company...you can not predict how that film will dry.... its not the same as tint on windows.

this is all such a bummer. i really thought it would be as easy as buying a cheap film and putting it on but this is becoming a bit more trouble than i think its worth. oh well i'll see what else i can do with the car. thanks for the help
