Default Headlight tint

I am looking for something to tint my headlight, I dont want a headlight cover, I had that on my old bike and didnt like it. I seen a product that look like it was stick on and was mesh like so light still can pass through it. Anyone know what this is and where it can be purchased.

i`ve not seen any other than the acrylic ones that sit ontop and a little proud because of the thickness of them, wouldn`t the glue cause issues with stick on ones, your lights get pretty hot when their on.

It wasnt glued on it was more like window tint that you could peel off, it was mesh like with little clear spots that allowed light to pass through but when the lights were off it sure looked sharp.. I saw it on a R6 somewhere (Red)but cant remember where, I think it was EBay.

I found it! here it is.
Give your bike the "Race" look by covering your headlight with this adhesive mesh. Hides factory headlights while still allowing light to pass through. Can even help keep glass from shattering in the event of breakage. Available in White, Red, Black, Green, Blue, and Yellow. Each sheet 11x17 inches. $24.95 $19.95 (Savings: $5.00)

I don't know that these sticky covers are exactly my bag. Not sure but, if you're just looking to dress up your headlight when the lights are on, you might check out fendereliminators.net and click on the LED Halo Kit link on the left side. I hear they come with an on/off switch and don't mess up your stock headlight. In my opinion they look pretty sweet. They are alot more pricey than the covers that you are looking at, they sell for 139.99. I don't know if anyone from here has gotten em yet, so I'm not sure about the install. Just offering a possible alternative.

Didn't post the actual link to save bandwith.
