no thats dumb. cuz they are stock headlights but with a reflective paint or something. so rather then spending 100 bucks for the same things. i could get the effect for like 5 bucks.

actually, there's a film that you can put over your headlights... do a search on any search engine for Auto Freak.... check their website for it...it's like a tint film.... I've seen it before
