I liked the orange on the black but thought it was a bit bright so just to tone it down a bit I used lighter smoked headlight tint here: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01IDS92KY/

Result below - looks a shade darker in person but pretty accurate. You could get darker headlight tints if you wish. Our side markers are stupid easy to do both on and off the car.

I bought mine through premier auto in Cali. $12.99 I think.
Only thing I suggested is a bit more material so it covers rest of housing in wheel well...but happy overall.

Colour is nice and dark. Also they have warranty.
Yea, I think its five years on their film if I remember right. The film is really thick,just like their fog light kits for our cars, 12 mil,you can get 8 mil, but unthinkable the 12 will protect the lights better and it was still easy to work with.

Teary eyes now, lol. Sold my mint 40.000 km SE and still miss it.
I fell in love with the SH/SE prelude in high school and those wheels specifically. I found these ones on Kijiji for next to nothing since they were pretty curb rashed. Easy enough to clean them up proper and give them new life.

Can't go wrong with it. I'll probably do it when the it'll warm up.

Yeah, the SH/SE really stood out with those wheels.

Yeah i'm debating too, i'm worried about aftermarket markers leaking but im also concerned about being able to remove the tint if I want to.
Bought smoked one from ebay. Downside is its not properly sealed. Im just gonna tint my original clear one with smoked.

I'm curious if anyone has used a tint overlay like in the picture I posted. If so feel free to let me know how you think they look and have held up.
You just answered one question, so here's another.

Did you blast it with a pressure washer and ehat happened?
