    Dark headlights

    So I received dark indicators today, as good as they look (to me at least) I'd like to have matching headlights and taillights.

    I know it's possible to remove glass from headlights and paint inside like this:



    On taillights I am willing to use some tint but don't know what's good or bad.

    Any suggestions on tint and process of painting inside of the headlight (what paint etc.)

    When my body shop has tinted rear lights for gt coupes they've used lacquer with a small amount of black paint
    Makes them looks like new but still bright enough to be legal

      Now that you mentioned it, I remember seeing spray on tints, and quick google search brought this up.

        I know it's dearer than paint, but I saw a link to dark C4 headlights on the net the other day. So someone does make them for a C4.

        Can't recall if they are for a regular C4 or and Urs4/6 C4 ?

        The cost figure of 99.00 sticks in my mind also.

        Sorry I haven't got the link.

          I've searched all sorts and can't find anything that's not "tuning" crap. My headlights work just fine, so feel bad buying another set
