super tints did a decent job on my car, they do 3m but they probably wont go darker than legal. i didnt recommend them before since they did a pretty average job for a pretty average price, so i'm not super excited about them.

Thanks. Not looking to go dark, just trying to protect some new ecodes and RS4 fogs. You know how much ballpark they charge for headlights?

Default 3M ecodes

Just so you know, it'll F up your beam pattern. Take a pic before/after and you'll see the output isn't as crisp and the flares on the "step up" will be gone.

As transparent as this film is, it's not enough. Granted it's a tiny price to pay though to keep them protected. I had my Hella ecodes done for $65. Guy cut the pattern on the spot instead of ordering precut. Charged me another $65 for friggen coming out to the location.

Some indy in Michigan. Got the persons name off the xpel website. Most are ind contractors and there were no garages in the area except Chicago that did it. Weird thing is how xpel and 3M work off each other. They both make the film, but xpel makes the backing or peel off paper for 3M and uses the 3M label.

They claim neither one is better than the other, but the film he put on had 3M labeled backing paper and he said it was 3M film, not xpel. I just wish there were some lexan covers that went over the housings instead of petroleum based plastic film. It seems to scatter or reduce the clarity of light output.
