Smoked headlights?

[m.flores.0928]

I have a 2014 5 door LE, I'm looking to smoke out my headlights. Is there a kit to do it? Or new headlight assemblies? Thanks!

Look around the forum. Someone recently post a similar question and he got answers.

Anyway:
If you want to smoke your headlights you can plastidip them. There are special plastidip products for this job. But keep in mind that making your headlights darker, you will reduce your brightness.

So for restore their brightness:
Check chrisFX channel on YouTube. One of his videos is a full DIY restoration.
All you need is some sandpapers and a coating spray that it is UV resistant. (The only specified coating for this job is American accents clear coat. You can find it on amazon)

I would advise against smoked headlights as they are illegal in Cali, and it's only a question of when not if you will be ticketed for them. The wet sand and clear coat is your best bet to restore the headlights to a factory new look that will last a long time. If they are not so bad then you can get away with just using a compound/scratch remover or polish followed by a coat of wax. From looking at the photo's your headlights are in pretty good shape so I would only polish and wax them. You can even try a whitening toothpaste as the polishing compound.
