Headlight Tinting

[TurboBlow]

Hey guys,

Thinking of tinting the headlights on my civic however do not want to cover up the daytime running lights. Anyone know of a way to tint without covering daytime running leds? I'm aware that there is a headlight tint for the type r by raw viynl works but have a non touring civic with the regular head lights.

Exterior shape wise, the type r headlights are the same as all the other civics. Those should work fine although I never got the appeal of decreasing light output with tinting headlights

@Donuyen18 the touring headlights are not the same as base headlights so those overlays won’t work.

@TurboBlow I recently let RawVinylWorks use my car to make a template for the non touring headlights. The have the DRL’s cutout like you want. They should have them up on their site soon.

I really appreciate the update, thanks man!

Does it decrease the light output by much at night? I still the stock hallogen bulbs on my headlights

Yes it does, and I’m running LED bulbs. I imagine the output would be worse with the stock halogens.

That's too bad.. any idea aprox what % tint they have available for the front and rear lights?

@TurboBlow i don’t know what the % is.

Now I am curious, what are the differences in the lenses of the touring and the projectors because i thought they were the same

The base model projectors have a protruding area where the projector is on the housing. Touring headlights are completely flat, but has three tiny areas that protrude where the turn signals are.

The protruding area on the base headlights is where the turn signal is. You can reference my picture above.

YEah, you're correct. I didn't remember it correctly.
