    the led tails? they work fine, some people had a led or two burn out, but i dont see this as being a huge plague.

    This line concerns me.
    You're going to tint a bulb?
    Or you're going to tint your housings?

    Either one is an extremely bad, and dangerous idea. Unless you GP is an offroad car.

    Still a bad idea. Silverstars HO bulbs aren't really that much brighter. What you can be guaranteed is that they'll die a lot faster. Honestly, it's just a terrible idea, and once you realize it, you'll have to buy yourself new headlamps.

    tinting headlights with halogens?

    its not like we have any output whatsoever (philips bulbs w/ new capsules), tinting them is outright dangerous. i remember laughing at a rsx guy @ work for tinting his headlights. week later he sanded it down because BLIND.
