Thoughts on Headlight/ Taillight tint

I have a Sakhir Orange F12 and was contemplating tinting my Headlights yellow and smoking the Taillights.

Not sure how well the colors will go together for the front end look of my car and have tried to find pictures of Sakhir orange car as it's not like most oranges and it's not quite like red either.

For the Taillights, they currently blend very well with the paint but with the black top and black wheels I think the smoked look would be nice.

Just wanted to get y'alls thoughts and see if anyone had some pictures.

In CA your light housings will become deformed from the heat.

I live in Texas and know the heat. Didn't know the headlight housings would get deformed, I've had the interior glue come unstuck on a VW in the past from the heat though.

IMO this would be a fool hardy thing to do. I don’t think it would be all that attractive, sorry

Thank you for your input. I'm asking for opinions whether they're good or bad

Since your images did not come thru to see I found a stock Sakhir Orange F12 with black wheels and edited the photos to show you what it might look like.

Thanks for the images. Doesn't look anywhere near as good as I thought it would

Tinted taillights normally only look good on white exteriors or dark exteriors.
