I found these 2 products to hide the ambers in my headlights but not sure which to get. Any recommendations?

Get the smoked vitex...they look fine...alternative is $$

I don't like the amber on my car since it is black. Black kidney grills, smoked side markers, blackline taillights. Covering the ambers just makes sense.

I was looking at the Gunsmoke Vitex which are only $65. From sticker city I would get the premium install kit because the other is too much and that cost is really just for the heat gun. I just don't what percent to get from them but definitely not the 35% so either 20% or 15%, but how much can 5% be?

Not sure if I'm misinterpreting your post but I put the vitex product on my car without a heat gun and it looks great. *Obviously the ideal solution is to go buy a set of euro headlights or OSS but those are buku dollars.

Ok, it wasn't about installation, it was about choosing one product over the other. I'm not getting new headlights just covering up ambers. I was reading the reviews for the Vitex and there aren't many happy campers for them. How do you rate yours?

Hmmm, on a scale of one to ten I'd give them a 7. *The "fitment" isn't as good as it could be...that is to say, it doesn't cover the amber 100% but it's one of those things that you really only notice if your face is right up against the headlight. *From five feet away they look great imo. *I had to use an x-acto knife to trim the excess off the top when it actually needed a little more on the bottom. *Installation is pretty easy and I think they're a huge improvement over the status quo. * And again, I wasn't willing to pony up the coin for the alternatives. *Hope this helps. *I can see if I have some pics if you're interested as my car is black too.*

Ok. My stealth side markers from bimmian aren't perfect fitment, I had to use you a file on them to make the front and back sit flat by the top is still little out. Only close observation reveals the millimetric gap. Also the right headlight has a scuff mark that won't come out with headlight buffers and other products. Besides no window tint, rims, and angel eyes, covering up these ambers are the last thing on my exterior mod list. If you could send me some pics that would be great, thanks!

Gun smoke Ambergones from **********s. Not perfect but a lot better. From afar looks good. Not cheap for a couple pieces of plastic. Installed 2 yrs ago. Never touched it since.
