Here's what you use:





I'm pretty happy with the results. The amber bulbs shine through as if the tint spray was never even there...

Nice, I'm considering doing it to my black 99 GSR.

I stole your setup and got neuspeed race springs and kyb gr-2's. The drop is so sweet and it rides great. Gonna need to get an alignment soon...

Sweet! Any pics?

I got the tint spray from www.summitracing.com . Go there and do a search on part #vhtsp999, it's listed there for $10.50 a can.

I've thought about it. I've just never found the time to remove the headlights. Plus I'd be too afraid it'd dim my HID's...hehe
