Why would you do this?

Spotted at school

Why would any sane person paint their headlights? Doesn't that negate their intended purpose? Is this a thing?

Murdered out. Also called involuntary manslaughter.

I've always wondered how Toyota developed the clear paint they used for the lights on the original Lexus RX as well...

But why? What possible advantage is there, besides a quick (and unbelievably stupid) way to get your parents to buy you a new car?

You don't remember the kids with civics popping the bulbs out and coloring them blue to look like HIDs then driving around with their brights on? Ghetto chic man. More of the same.

I'm negating the intended purpose of my Benz headlights right now by not replacing them. The low beams are just... asthmatic 80-year old style weak. I don't know whether his even really did much before he painted them, is what I'm saying.

I seem to recall someone posting here about a kid at their school painting over his taillights, and getting rear-ended within a week.

I was just a kid when the F&F craze hit, so not really. Hell, there aren't even that many Civics here either. It's mostly 3-Series BMW's, Honda Pilots, and the occasional Porsche Boxster. This is probably as ghetto as it gets around here (with the exception of the school building).
