How did you work around the little nubs on the headlights? I can see those as being a PITA.

I know about the film but I want something I can take on or off at a moments notice, for instance, if I do get pulled over I can just take them off while the officer is still there and save myself a ticket and them put them back on during the day. I don't think I have to worry about that here though because the cops don't even care about cars rolling around with under body neon/LEDs.

Here's exactly what I'm talking about doing.
I guess you could call them Quick release Yellow Headlights.
Getting these:

And painting them with this on the inside of the cover:

Keep us updated. Im interested to see how this works out for you.

you can use a heat gun to take it off to no probs, im sure you can pick at it with out a heat gun too, but prolly a little sticky

You need to do some reading. See the section "What about light loss due to filtration?"

- Wed Jan 19, 2011 5:30 am #234153 Yeah - pretty interesting stuff if you're not allergic to reading.

Basically - White, Yellow are OK
Other colours - (Blue, Green(?!?!), etc.) not so much.

- Wed Jan 19, 2011 10:52 am #234175 I was doing a little reading on light colors a while back, non auto related, and found out that green light doesn't startle animals near as much as much as white, blue or yellow. So long story short, I was thinking, why not green headlights?
It's obvious now that it's a crap color for visibility.

Having a sweet mustache is half the battle.
