Customer Installation Photos of Mini Cooper Smoked Headlights
2002-2006 Mini Cooper Smoked Headlight Tint
All of the photos in today's post come to us courtesy of one of our customers who bought a precut headlight kit in smoke from us. Normally these kits are designed to cover the entire headlight (even if they sectional) so it appears that he custom trimmed it himself--a distinct advantage of Rtint over thicker films which are not nearly as easy to work with.
Smoke Tint - Headlight Film at Just the Right Shade
Rvinyl carries a wide variety of shades and colors of tint for our precut headlight covers and wraps and, as you can see, the smoke film gives just enough tint to make it noticeable but not so much that it will hamper the light. In addition, with the custom modification these are almost more headlight eyebrows than covers.
Which to Choose?
Although it's true that there are a large variety of colors such as HID blue, JDM inspired yellow, orange or amber and crazy colors like pink, purple or green you don't have to stress--Rtint film is semi-permanent and removable so you can try one out and, if you don't like it, you can always take it off. This is definitely not an option with spray tint so do the samrt thing and pick up a pair of precut headlight tints from Rvinyl.com today.

Carbon Fiber Racing Stripes - Looking Good While Drifting in Hondas
Rvinyl Precut, Pre-mounted Vehicle Graphics
Looking to spice up the look of your Civic? Aside from all of the other great aftermarket accessories like exhaust tips, LEDs and halos, vehicle graphics are an excellent and inexpensive way to upgrade the look of your ride. Rvinyl has been specializing in creating the most interesting and best performing racing stripes and auto body graphics for the last ten years and we see no reason to stop now.
Carbon Fiber Hood Graphics
As you can see, our customer (who's name we won't be releasing) did an amazing job on the install. Yes, we would like to take some credit given that the graphics come mounted to our premium, easy release transfer tape but we definitely didn't apply it to the curves of the bumper. Amazing job! Still, it shows what can be done with our bubble-free, three-dimensional carbon fiber film.

Rvinyl 2012 Honda Civic Projector Headlights Installation Instructions
Spec-D Tuning 2012 Honda Civic Projector Headlights Installation Instructions
Projector and aftermarket headlights in general are a great way to spice up the look of your car. In addition, many high-quality projector lights not only increase the aesthetic appeal of your ride but also augment its performance. Imagine the difference that additional candlepower can make on a winding country road or in the middle of an intense storm. Still for many people, installing aftermarket headlights can seem like a task best left to the experts. But, as you will see that is not the case at all.
Preparations
You will need the following tools before you attempt to install the headlight and most of these are included in any standard tool box. Please contact us if you have any problems finding any of the tools listed above.- 1.4" drive ratchet
- a 6" extension
- 10m socket
- 5mm Allen socket
- a Handy remover
1. Open the hood. Yes, it may at first seem like a no-brainer but it is an important first step.
2. Remove the 12 plastic clips shown above. Be gentle as you do not want to snap these clips.
3. Remove the Phillips head screw from the fender well. A Phillips head screwdriver has the cross end as opposed to the flat head.
4. Remove the two 5mm Allen bolts shown above.
5. Remove the two plastic clips located at the top of the radiator supports. Again, be gentle with the fragile clips.
6. Remove the front bumper by tugging firmly at the sides.
7. Remove the impact absorbing foam. Here, too, patience is the key.
8. Remove the 10mm bolt that secures the headlight to the frame. These is the first of 3.
9. Remove the 10mm bolt located to the side of the headlight. Number two!
10. Remove the third 10mm connecting the bracket to the frame
11. Remove headlight and disconnect headlight harness. There are two plug to disconnect here.
12. Remove the 10mm bolt attaching the headlight to the factory headlight bracket.
13. Remove the headlight bracket.
14. Install the headlight bracket on the new headlight and secure it with a 10mm bolt.
15. Connect the headlight harness to new headlight and place in factory position.
16. Replace all hardware by following steps 1 through 13 in reverse order.
17. Check all connections and light functions prior to driving
