If I was to go with a smoked set of headlight covers, how much light output is lost?
Do you have a before\after pics of the lights on against a wall or something?

Its 17% light loss when using smoked films. If your light vision is important to you then do not use the smoked. I would go with the blue. Looks cool and improves the optics of the light.
how difficult is it to install the film, i wil be purchasing for the front and rear.RockBlocker said:
is it possible for you to make a cover for the light on the wing taht reads
"Mazdaspeed" the same way it reads on the lower left badge on the hatch. i made one with regular tint but it need to be metal or something because its too bright when i hti the brakes and it cant be read. ive seen something similar on srt4's it reads "srt-4" i thought it would be nice to have on the mazda

It is a PAIN to install these films i just did mine a few days ago, but had to take em off cause the melted on me (sitting in traffic for 1 1/2)
The fogs go on easy, but the headlights are very difficult and time consuming.
The curve part of the headlight is the most difficult part.
Joshman, I saw your pics, looks good. Love the blue.
Next summer I am going to give it another try. It will be the blue tinted ones with blue fogs.

For those that want technical help and guidance please contact us. The installation is only as hard as you make it to be. Heads and tails usually are more difficult, but we can help you do it

Whats the legality of having tinted headlight covers? Anyone happen to know? It doesnt say anything on CHP's site, but im going to assume its probably similar to tinted windows, in that its probably not monitered too much unless you are already pulled over and they are trying to stick you with more infractions..
just some info for you guys.
It is legal to put the overlays on your headlights and tail lights as long as it doesnt change the color of the light output. I know cause some cop training a rookie stopped me and when the rookie checked, he said "Nope, it doesnt change the color...." Also i assume that they must not reduce the light output significantly either.
They are a bit difficult to put on, but if you follow the instructions it is not bad. I messed up the first one, but i learned quickly the effect of heat and soapy water. It made it really easy to bend the film around edges and to correct it on the fly. I have had them on my car for over a year and i love it. I have the tail lights, head lights and fog lights done.
