Hello everyone! Just bought the '12 Countryman and wanted some help/advice. The PO tinted the headlights and taillights. I am not fond of the headlights being this dark and it does affect night time driving, of which, I do a lot of. I am not sure if it is an overlay or tint. I am going to attach pics as best as I can and if anyone can tell me with a naked eye what he used and how to remove it - I would appreciate it. Thanks

Yes, ok for car show and not driven but not good for light output,. I bet that is some run of the mill dark lay over tint . I would get a heat gun and try to test it in a corner. Pop the hood and see what the headlight on the edge looks like. If it does not come off or damaged underneath (looks like normal halogen headlights) I would get aftermarket new ones.
If that is a film type application, like Laminex, just have to grab a heat gun and start peeling. If its a painted on coating... might have to replace the housings.
