Anyone tinted their Aux driving lights

[fleabag]

I’ll install the aux driving lights onto my bagger as soon as the parts arrive, which seems to be about a four-week lead time on the items that need to come from Germany. I want the lights to be amber, so do you have any experience tinting these aux lights? If so, can you share what you used? Or does anyone have any experience they can share from doing this on other lights?

Not on my R18 but several Harley’s and my Moto Guzzi, I used these.

I put a protective film on my driving lights. The stuff I got was actually quite thick and has held up quite well. No matter what brand you use, I suggest you remove the bezel of the light before application. Makes installation a ton easier, hides your edges, and secures the film around the perimeter for a little extra adhesion security.

Here's the kind I used....

Yes. I don't have a "running" picture but it makes them *way* more noticeable. My riding partner said they were way better and I confirmed, when we swapped bikes for a bit.

What did you use to tint them? I don’t have my lights yet so I’m assuming I can take the light bezel off to apply the tint.

Lamin-X. I took the bezel off, you could do it without - but I think it would look crappy. The bezels hide the outer ring of the laminate well.

Thanks for posting. This looks good on your bike and, as I have the same, this mod is now on my list.
