Headlight Armor - Smoked Film Light Transmission
|
We tested a variety of "Smoked Headlight Kits" from vendors who claim that their
covers both look really dark but allow 60%-95% light transmission. If you go to
the tint shop and ask for 80% window tint most won't have anything that light
to begin with. We did find a shop that had a display with 70% and you could
hardly tell it was tinted at all... We asked each vendor to verify their claims
before we placed our order. They said 'absolutely, tinted headlight and
taillight covers are
measured differently'. From a variety of films to old school hard plastic /
acrylic clip-on, the results were wildly different from the marketing claims.

If you see a product that looks pretty dark chances are it is going
to block light transmission. We have not found a way to make a chrome headlight
or taillight look
really dark black and yet have no effect on light output.
