Gave the Jeep a little attitudinal adjustment today... Had some black vinyl laying around and figured since I was installing Silverstars I also had laying around for months that I might as well get this done too.

Got them stretched perfectly with no bubbles or wrinkles in the vinyl. I tested the lights for 5 minutes and the vinyl does get hot enough to not want to touch it. The vinyl should hold up fine, but I will keep an eye on things the first time they really get used.

I love the look so, if any issues with the vinyl I will find some tinted vinyl instead of black (which I may do anyways). Attached are iPhone pics with the lights on.

ADDED: As the Jeeps anger continued into the night... The only real light loss I see is about 10 feet out in front on the ground, filled in by the driving lights just fine. Distance projection seems fine, same crappy stock coverage.

Good luck with yours. I've had to change mine twice already from the heat shrinking the vinyl and rock chips.
looks good though.

and i was thinking about doing that to my jeep, but i guess not now.

Be careful doing that.
Most states do not allow any type of cover or tint on the headlights.
Another reason for LEO to stop you.

Why the hell would you want to make the chitty stock heads work even worse......

I already drive by brail, so i don't see why how it would make it any worse

lights on? no wonder the "eyelids" don't make a difference.

The light pattern on the wall in front of the Jeep did not look all that changed from stock... Besides I run my front Driving Lights all the time so, no light issues for me.

As for Leo's, I have had full headlight covers on four past vehicles with no problems. What the Leo's DO LOVE in Florida though is illegal tint! Thats why I either don't have any or run the legal limit. Besides if I was to get pulled I can just peel of the vinyl right then to make the piggy happy.

i did that to my headlights last year. shortly after applying the vinyl i had to remove it while some wacko county cop stood there and watched.

at least he didnt cite me...

I had a Philly cop to that to me when I had the side windows on my Grand Am tinted. I couldn't see chit through the glue that was left on the windowissed:

I have done that almost a year ago.
No problem with the cheapo vinyl I bought, even through rain, snow, hot, cold, etc.
Only "problem" is with high beams... The low beams light more than the high beams since the vinyl is in front of the higher part of the lights...
But I guess that's why we install 100+ watts off-road lights...
High beams should only be used when there is nobody around you (well, at least in front) so the off-road lights are just as appropriate...
(and I do have upgraded bulbs!)

They look pretty good. Which front bumper do you have? I'm looking to upgrade to the XHD system, I can't tell from the pics but it looks like you have the system i want. if you have any day pics of it, could you post them i want to see what it will look like.

I have the Smittybilt SRC front and rear bumpers... The lights are cheap 55 watt from auto store, i got them to hold me over until i can get some really nice lights.

I am running Silverstars in the headlights... I honestly never use my highbeams, the 55 watters on the bumper hit anything reflective waaayyyyy out in front. ANd I have really good night vision, that helps too! hehe

Must makes the vinyl stick to the lights?
