    Lamin X headlight questions..

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Fellas I was thinking about getting lamin-x for the headlights.. possibly going with gun smoke , tint , or optic blue. Do any of you guys have this on their car. I dont have projectors at the moment so i dont know if the gunsmoke would be too dark on halogens and then be F'd at night... let me know post some pics if you guys have any.

    I had gunsmoke on my projectors and still had to remove them because I lost too much light, partly because the roads stay pretty wet year round here though.

    How easy/difficult is it to remove the Lamin-x again? I'm considering it, but like to able to remove it again w/o damaging the headlight...

    Thanks...

    Re: Lamin X headlight questions..

    I have the smoked and they do take away some candle power/light transmittancy, but it's not that noticeable unless your somewhere where theres no street lights, in which case I run the fogs and or the high beams. Sorry no pics right now. To take them off just use a razor blade and peel. Then maybe remove any left over adhesive with some mineral spirits/paint thinner.

    Its easy to peel them off with a hair drier or heat gun.

    That way you don't get residual glue.

    bluebatmobile.net He sells them for cheaper. =) And if you mess up, he'll send you another set for cheaper. You have to reach him through email, it's on the site though.

    Re: Lamin X headlight questions..

    Was the Optic Blue very blue at night, or was it just a hint of blue on the road ? I def like the idea of Yellow fogs though... trying to decide on the charcoal or the Optic Blue.. let me know ur thoughts.
