photochromic film for headlights - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

spit_fire · 11-09-2009, 09:19 PM

Hey riders,
i was wondering if anyone ever heard of photochromic films available in india?? the thing is i've smoked my taillights and they look pretty amazing, however, i would like to avoid smoking the headlights as well coz the lights of the r15 are pretty bad itself in stock

.. so, any ideas?? or would anyone know any place in chennai where they smoke lights properly?? (i did the previous one back home in kerala

)
and one more thing, how much would the fuel tank of the r15 cost?? my neighbor's new scorpio made sure i got an awesome dent on it..

..
thanx bros..

well, u guys can try it out in any paint booths or somethin. they call it 'smoking' the lights

.. as i told, i gt it done back home in kerala.. u get a choice between light and dark smoking.. mine is the dark version... The guy quoted me for 400 bucks- taillamps, 4 indicators and the visor.. i'll attach the night pics within the week, bike's currently with the SVC... neways, there is enough light 4 ppl to notice tht u r on the road!! bt don't expect much at daytime... indicators show perfectly, no probs...
neways, anyone any tips on my queries??

where exactly at tvm did you do this? coz in saudi now.. will be hopefully takin a cbz xtreme next year start with some hard earnd cash and i badly want to get this done .. tnx in advance

is it some clearcoat paint or a plastic film?

k guys, guess the thread is 'bumped'

... neways, there is this window tint they use in cars that can be seen clearly 4m the inside but looks tinted on the outside.. so theoretically, it should work proper as a covering for the headlights.. wht do u guys think?? any idea hw much tht tint costs?? and for ppl who did nt understand wht 'photochromic' is, it's the thing u see in glasses, becomes dark in sunlight and clear normally..
btw, nobody replied on hw much the tank would cost..
thanx

No Idea about the fuel tank but its a metal part..
So if claimed under insurance it would be free or very cheap for you.
