Yellow Motorcycle Headlight Tint - How and why I fitted it

Here's how I tinted my Triumph Street Twin headlight yellow.....

Thanks! I just wrapped a headlight on my speed triple with the help of your video 👍 Had I not watched it I probably would've never realized that there was an additional top film that needed to be peeled off when complete! 😂

Yellow tint is very helpful in fog and night time

What a surprise to see you here my friend. I was looking for amber colored passing lights for my Harley and I found you🙏🏻

Good video again Tony. Thank you.
One difference that I learned doing my headlight was with the use of window cleaner sprayed on the headlight glass as well as the back of the tint after removing the (inside) protective film. With a fine mist sprayed on, the film easily slides into position and the same use of the mini squeegee and dryer pushes both air bubbles and moisture out while the dryer stretches the film tight and evaporates the moisture. Spray is used also on the outer film so the squeegee slides easily as well. Everything else was done as you described. The spray seems to make it go a bit smoother and makes corrections easy. Maybe give it a go next time and let me know if it works better for you or not.. 🙏🙂

Great stuff Tony, thanks for posting this. I've put yellow filters on my auxilliary "fog" lights - definitely makes the bike standout amidst all the bright white noise of Car DRLs. I may well do the headlight as well after watching this.

Hi Tony thanks for the great videos, I agree the yellow headlamp certainly seems to make you more visible ! I didn’t go with the film I just bought a yellow H4 bulb from eBay (£6.99), obviously only looks yellow when on !

Great video mate, Just put this on my Street Scrambler and it looks so much better. Cheers.

I'm doing the fog lights on my 22 KLR650, I was curious how to do the lip around the circle lens. Thanks for the video! I feel more confident to do the job now

Yellow Headlight Tint was origininated in France to make it more difficult for the Germans to attack them from the air.

A good well informed and professional video. Cheers bud. Nice bike too

I painted a yellow layer on my XT500 headlight in the 80s because I used to think, erroneously or not, that you had to have a yellow beam for riding in France. Whatever, it looked cool.

Great idea, I build Cafe Racers on my channel and If I do this to one of my builds it will mention you, I love your ideas and your channel is awesome 😎

Nice video man. Keep up the good work.

I did this on my 06 Ural Tourist. It was easy, sometimes a little frustrating with bubbles but not bad. Only real pain in the butt I had is my headlight glass is not totally flat. There were three nipples located at 12, 4 and 8. Not sure why they are there, but I had use an X-Acto to pop small holes in the material so the nipples would pop through. I would try it again after more miles of riding.

That looks good. I was going to buy a yellow headlight but this looks really kool 👍 I’ll order some film and give it a go

Many years ago here in the US you could buy sealed yellow sealed beam headlights. The tint was in the glass and not just an applied coloured sheet of plastic. Because your lighting laws state that headlights can be yellow or white at some time in the past yellow headlights were also available in the UK.

Don’t sweat stupid comments. The world is full of stupid. Love the yellow look. I have yellow fog lights on my car. Tinted lights aren’t legal in my state but I really like the look on your bike. Well done

More than cosmetic: eyes recover faster from yelow in an oncoming traffic situation.
