Smoked lights. Protected lenses.
Smoked headlights and taillights are done with a tinted, self-healing film on the lens. Innovo installs STEK Light Protection Film at our Oakland shop: it changes the look and guards the lens against chips and UV yellowing, with a 7-year STEK warranty.
Taillights $225. Headlights $350. Both $550. One price for every car.
One price, any car.
Both taillights. The most popular way to start.

Before you book.
Are smoked taillights legal in California?
California lets a lamp look any color when it is off, as long as the lit lamp still shows red and is plainly visible from 1,000 feet (Vehicle Code 24600 and 25950). Our street shades, DYNOstorm 50% and DYNOshade 45%, are light enough to keep that margin. The darker shades, DYNOsmoke 30% and DYNOshadow 34%, are sold for off-road and show cars only, and we ask you to sign a short disclaimer before we install them.
What about smoked headlights?
California's rule that lets lamps look any color when off leaves headlamps out, and headlights must emit white or yellow light. That is why we sell the light street shades for headlights and keep the dark shades off-road only. Amber film (yellow light) is allowed from the front. We never promise a car will pass a traffic stop with tinted lamps.
Is this the same film as window tint?
No. STEK Light Protection Film is a tinted paint protection film made for lamps: 8 mil, self-healing, and it protects the lens from chips and UV yellowing while it changes the look. Window tint is a different product for glass.
How long does it take?
Taillights take about an hour and a half, headlights about three hours, both together about four and a half. Shop-only, in a clean bay.
What is the warranty?
STEK covers its Light Protection Film for 7 years; FORCESHIELDamber for 5 years.
Can it come off later?
Yes. The film removes cleanly from the lens. Removal is a separate service.
