Are you talking about the spray tint in a can, that you get at autozone? Also, are you talking about tinting your headlights on the outside?

I think he means use spray tint as paint for the housings, not on the lenses, creating a more accurate JDM color on them.

I would say go ahead and try it. THe worst thing that could happen is that you screw them up and then you will have to actually buy real JDM headlights.

sounds really good, the only concern i have is the tint possibly peeling? It gets hot in the headlights...

you may want to take a real light sand paper to the relector before you add the tint. Yeah i think that the tint would make them more authentic. Try it and post pics!
