Headlight and Taillight Tinting in Clovis, CA
Protective film with a shade, in light through to dark. Installed at our shop right here in Clovis.


Headlight and Taillight Tinting in Clovis, Shade Chosen For How You Drive
The question we get asked is how dark to go, and the honest answer depends on where you drive at night rather than what looks best in a photo. There is no version of putting film over a lens that adds light. A light or medium smoke changes the front end noticeably and costs you very little output. The darkest shades look the most striking and you will feel them on an unlit road out past the edge of town. Tell us how you actually drive and we will point you at a shade that suits it. We install STEK DYNO light protection film in four tones, DYNOshade, DYNOsmoke, DYNOshadow and DYNOyellow, and you can see all four on a real lens in daylight at our Clovis shop before committing. Because it is a protection film rather than a spray or a dye, it also shields the polycarbonate lens from the grit and UV that turn lights cloudy and yellow, and it peels off again if you want the car back to stock. Most vehicles are finished the same day, with a 7-year manufacturer warranty on every install.

Four Shades, From Light Smoke To Deep Tint
How far you go is your call, and it changes the whole front end. A light smoke reads as a subtle upgrade, the darkest shade is unmistakable. We will show you all four on a real lens in daylight before anything is fitted.
A Barrier Against Valley Grit And UV
Headlight lenses are polycarbonate, not glass, which is why so many older cars go cloudy and yellow up front. The film takes the freeway grit and the UV instead, and it peels off and gets replaced for a fraction of what new light units cost.
Four Named Tones And A 7-Year Warranty
The four tones are DYNOshade, DYNOsmoke, DYNOshadow and DYNOyellow, so you are choosing a specific finish rather than a vague level of dark. Every install is backed for 7 years by the manufacturer, on top of our own no-fault lifetime warranty on the work.
Paint Protection Film VS Ceramic Coating
PPF and Ceramic Coating both enhance protection, yet serve distinct purposes. PPF is a thick film safeguarding against physical damage like stone chips and scratches, while Ceramic Coating, a liquid polymer, provides a glossy, hydrophobic layer resisting minor scratches, UV damage, and simplifying cleaning. Each offers unique protective benefits for your vehicle.
Certified Installer
Provided by STEK Automotive, the DYNO technology provides headlight and taillight protection from daily road hazards such as rock cracks, acid stains from insects and bird droppings, fading and hazing. Each install on taillights and headlights is backed with a 7-year manufacturer warranty.

We Are Here To Help
It depends on how many lights you're doing and whether anything needs to come off the car to get a clean wrapped edge, so headlight tinting is priced per vehicle rather than at a flat rate.
Most vehicles are done the same day, usually within a few hours. Send us your year, make and model and we'll give you a free, no-commitment quote.
Plenty of customers have us handle their window tinting in Clovis on the same visit, which saves a second trip.
Two things cover it. The manufacturer warrants the film itself for 7 years against the usual failures, and on top of that we add our own no-fault lifetime warranty.
No-fault is the part worth understanding. It means accidental damage is covered once, not just manufacturing defects. If something takes a chunk out of the film, that is a conversation about getting it redone rather than an argument about whose fault it was.
Keep your paperwork, or just tell us the vehicle when you call. We have the record either way.
The rule comes down to color and output. Taillights have to show red, headlights white or yellow. Anything that changes the color of the light, or cuts how much of it gets out, is where vehicles run into trouble.
What we install is classified as a protection film with a slight shade rather than a color-changing tint. It darkens the lens without turning red light into something else, which is what keeps it on the right side of the rule.
Shade still matters. A light or medium smoke is a modest reduction. Very dark films noticeably cut output, and that is a safety question before it is a legal one. Come by the shop in Clovis and we will show you the tones on a real lens rather than a screen.
It depends far more on where you drive at night than on what looks best in a photo.
We carry a range from a light smoke through to a much darker finish. Light and medium suit most people, and they change the look of the front end noticeably while keeping output close to stock. The darkest shades look the most dramatic and are really only sensible on a car that mostly sees lit streets.
If you cover unlit roads out of town regularly, stay lighter than you think you want to. That is the advice we give in the shop and it is the one people thank us for later.
Come by and see them on a lens in daylight. Shades that look similar on a screen look quite different in person.
Somewhat, and the shade decides how much. There is no version of putting film over a lens that adds light.
A light or medium smoke costs you very little, and most people never notice it in normal driving. A very dark film you will notice, and you will notice it exactly where it matters, on a road with no streetlights.
That is worth deciding honestly before the film goes on rather than after. It comes off again if you change your mind, but nobody enjoys paying twice.
Tell us how you actually drive and we will point you at a shade that suits it. The film is also a protective layer, so it takes the stone chips that would otherwise hit the lens.
Yes. It is a film laid over the lens, not a paint, a dye or a spray, so it comes off and the original lens is sitting untouched underneath.
That is the reason to choose film over the spray-on products people ask about. Sprayed tint is a permanent decision on a part that costs real money to replace, and it cannot be undone if you get the shade wrong.
Practically, it means two things. You can try a shade and change it later, and you can return the car to stock before a sale or the end of a lease without buying new lenses.
Most vehicles are done the same day, usually within a few hours, which makes this one of the few things we do that you can wait for rather than drop off.
What moves the number is how many lights you are doing and whether anything has to come off the car. Some vehicles need the bumper loosened to get a clean wrapped edge around the headlight, and that adds time.
Tell us the year, make and model when you book and we will tell you whether yours is a wait or a drop-off before you drive over to Clovis.
Yes, and on a car that covers real highway mileage that is arguably the bigger reason to do it.
Headlight lenses are polycarbonate, not glass. They sandblast and haze over time from grit thrown up on the freeway, which is why so many older cars have that cloudy yellow look up front. Replacing a hazed lens is expensive; the film sits over it and takes that abuse instead.
Because it is a film rather than a coating, it can be peeled off and replaced when it has done its job, leaving a lens underneath that still looks new. That is a much cheaper cycle than replacing headlight units.
The darkening is real, but treat it as the side effect rather than the point.
