The time we spend tinting lamps depends on the number of lamps you want tinted and the condition of the lamps themselves. We take the time to thoroughly clean your lamps, carefully prepare and accurately apply the film so that the end result is perfectly even and tight. On average, this process takes about 1 hour, depending on the complexity.
We work for lamp smoking exclusively with high-quality materials from XPEL, a supplier known worldwide as one of the best in the field of foil. Thanks to the quality of their products, we can guarantee a perfect finish. Moreover, you will receive a 10-year warranty after the installation of the foil, which will keep your lamps protected and beautiful for a long time.
The cost to smoke your lamps depends on the number of lamps we need to treat. As indicated above, you can easily find the prices. We have fixed prices for lamp fumigation, so you don't have to ask for a separate quotation and won't be faced with unexpected extra costs. This way you know exactly where you stand.
If you have your car washed in a car wash after lamp smokin', we recommend choosing a car wash without brushes, but with soft cloths. When using a pressure washer, keep it at least 25 cm away from the lamps and do not aim the jet directly at the edges. This will prevent loosening of the film and maintain perfect results. Regular cleaning extends the life of the tinted lamps.
Smoking lamps is not illegal, but it can be a problem during a MOT inspection. Nothing is allowed on the bulb during an MOT inspection. It is therefore possible that the film must be removed. With our film this is almost never the case, because our film has more gloss, and is completely transparent. There is only color added to the film. With the naked eye it is almost invisible that there is film on the lamps. Most MOT inspectors will therefore turn a blind eye to this, especially if it is a light shade. Via this link you will find more information.
The difference in light between tinted and untinted lamps is hardly noticeable. For the headlights, use of the Light or Medium variant is recommended, as they allow enough light to pass through. The Dark variant can take away a lot of light and reduce visibility in the dark. No need to worry about being less visible; with the right tint, your lighting will remain safe and effective.
The film we use is UV-resistant lithographic film. As a result, the inside and outside of your lamp will not discolor or be damaged by UV radiation. The film also protects against stone chips and scratches, and repairs itself from these damages. The film provides an extra layer of protection, making the lamps last longer.
Our foil can remain in perfect condition for a very long time because it is self-healing. Therefore, we also provide a 10-year warranty on the installation. Of course, it does require proper maintenance. You can extend its life by gently washing the lamps by hand, and removing dirt such as bird droppings from the foil as soon as possible. This way, the foil will remain in optimal condition for years after lamp smoking.
Sure! The film is not permanent and can be carefully removed by a professional at any time, without leaving any glue residue or damaging the paint or lights. As a result, you can always easily return to the original look of your car, should you ever want to, without any permanent changes due to the film.
In addition to lamp smoking, we also specialize in XPEL PPF, blind windows, ceramic coatings, wrap and sticker.
