    Black housing headlights?

    I had a orange/amber tint film laying around for a while n decided to put it on my corner lighs. they came out good but the orange looks to bright.. So would it help if I black house them.. N if I do it should I black house my headlights too?

    I also wanted to know if the cover/protector over the lowbeam bulb.. Can u install one in the highbeams too??

      What i mean is the film is a lil bright n would like it to look more like the bumper lights which are a lil more dark. U think black housing them would help.
      N i seen some cbs running their inner side/high beams instead of their low beams??

        Those that are doing the high beams are doing just that... driving with their high beams on. They're assholes.

        If you can find a way to install a cap like on the low beams, and run the 9006 bulbs, then you could technically have 4 low beams (if aimed properly) and no high beams. It COULD be cool.

        Are you running HIDs in the stock housings?

                  But i mean dont the low n high beam give out the same heat. The low beam gives out less light because of the cap? Or am i wrong. Idk but i might try it

                        If you want to drive around with your highbeams on, get some 9005 LED bulbs like these here...

                        Here they are installed on a car. As you can see they don't even come close to emitting the require light output needs to see anything, they're strickly for show so you wouldn't have a problem with blinding anybody. Plus they come in different colors and shit so you have some options if you want.

                          yeah the caps lol
                          and no i don't think it'll cost u the whole head light so u should be fine,
                          and those LED lights seem like a god idea although i already ordered me the whole DRL setup from a canadian cb7
