 What's happening boys and girls? Thanks for stopping back by another day here on the channel We have got my buddy's 2018 Ram 1500 here And we're gonna be doing a little bit of upfits for you in the way of headlights headlight tint and see what kind Of changes we can do to it do some Testing between the old style headlights as well as new style headlights and see what kind of lumen output We can get for you So we got down here to iron clad tint located in Englewood, Ohio if you guys have any kind of needs of tint Headlight work. They'd also do whole vehicle wraps vinyl Specialty stickers and all that kind of stuff to help spruce up your vehicle They do that kind of stuff so we're gonna go in here We're gonna talk to the owner and get his input on some of the headlights and we're what we're gonna do is We're gonna do their specialty headlight tint on the vehicle today We're also gonna be working with the headlight manufacturer JDMA star who I've done work with before on doing their latest greatest generation eight of their headlight LED Upgrades we're gonna get that one in the vehicle and then we're gonna do some testing between How bright the factory style headlights are to how bright the newer LEDs are and then compare that to when we Do some tint on these new headlight assemblies also So stay tuned. We're gonna get this thing pulled apart and see how it's gonna look All right, so now we're in here at iron clad tint We're gonna be talking with Chris the owner about just the different products on the headlight and the application of it as well As the Luxe brand which is the actual tint that's gonna be going on the headlights Why you guys need to look into that one and how much better it is compared to what everybody else thinks that the actual Headlight spray on film you get an advanced auto or whatever it's gonna be for you So let's talk to Chris and see what kind of info he has How's everybody doing my name is Chris. I'm the owner of iron clad tent company here in Englewood, Ohio Today we're here with Kyle from Rust Belt Mechanic And we're gonna be doing a little demo on Luxe headlight and taillight tint It's pretty cutting edge the patented technology that they have is called air aggression Which allows air to be released from behind the film. So it's easier to contour to The headlights and taillights when they're being installed So gone are the days of getting night shades at AutoZone and spraying your headlights and your taillights and looking like a clown Because now you can get into something that looks stock Or it looks like it's OEM and came that way from the dealership and it's actually an aftermarket product so Without further ado, we'll do a little sampling and then we'll get to the installation on this ram truck We're doing an 18 ram truck today headlights taillights and fog lights. We're gonna do it in the mid gloss smoke So there are a few different levels of VLT the mid is a 24% so it allows 24% of light through and and Obviously out from the lights So as a certified installer and as an authorized dealer for Luxe what we can offer is the only patented air grass film on the market and Long story short air grass was developed in the vinyl world It is now transferred over with the technology into headlight and taillight tent It allows the film to contour to compound curves Which is a game changer? Ironman here is gonna basically Be my prop to show you so what we have here is a Luxe piece of satin and this is the mid-grade smoke and What you do is you basically It's hard to see it, but there are hexagonal Areas on the back that allow for area to be for air to be released So basically what you can do is you can take something and you can apply it to a round surface contoured Not using any heat only force and I can make that bad puppy Go right around that curve So there's a basic description on why Luxe is different than everybody else on the market Nobody else can do that. It's basically like taking a piece of paper over a basketball That's every other product and then there's Luxe so with that air aggression another thing That's excellent is let's just say you do have a gigantic bubble that you did not lay down and It's trapped under the film Air aggression allows you to softly massage the area well that sounded real Something didn't it but anyways you massage the area and it releases it right through the hexagonal Directional pattern behind it. So if you get into a spot, you don't have to lift it completely back up in order to release The air so Ironman did his job and we showed you exactly what it does and now you can see it's actually contoured to his head Because it wants to transform into the area That it's applied now one of the cool things about that air-aggress technology is You see how it's all warped if I take a heat gun to it and just wave it It'll literally return itself right back to flat just like it was when I pulled it off of this But yeah, we're just gonna get into it and show you what it's all about We're able to take the ram out and get some lumen count readings I picked up a luminometer off just a nice easy cheap one from Amazon reads up to 2,000 lumens We're gonna test the truck at about 15 to 20 feet out from the headlight view source So let's roll over to that footage to see what our stock headlights are putting out All right, so we've got everything zeroed out here on the luminometer and we are located 20 feet out directly in line with our Beams of the truck. So let's go ahead and turn on the low beams 509 510 lumens high beams 1110 ish Right around there. So those are the factory headlight bulbs So not only we're doing the tip on headlights here upgrading the headlight Bones themselves and you guys have seen some videos before of us actually Upgrading bones and we are still again going with my good buddies over at JDMA star The couple that we have going on is for the headlights the high beams. We have 9,000 files This is their NX series model. They're a fanless motor fanless unit So you're not gonna have that amazing, you know that annoying worry sound going inside of your headlights They've got the fin design on the back as well as the modules there So you don't have that annoying headlight out of warning on the newer vehicles and then for the low beams We have the newest 8 gen Headlights here. These are the H11s for the 2018 Ram. These things are absolutely amazing. They're rating at a 6500k Light source the cool temperature to it. They run on the standard 12 volt source And I think these are gonna be some killer upgrades Their ZES chip is something that is newer to the market and I think that they're gonna look amazing on this Ram So the guys are in there right now doing the tip on the headlights So we're gonna tip one side or gonna leave the other side blank to do a human count difference Just between going from these stock headlights that we just showed you guys And then we are going to put these headlights in to see what the stock housing is with the upgraded lights And then the upgraded lights with the new tint. Hopefully after we get this going We're gonna have nice tinted headlights with the upgraded bulbs and we're still gonna be over the factory lumen count That's the hope at least on top of being able to give this Ram a sick look in the front end For the tinted headlights All right, so now we've got our headlights put in with the newer 8th gen on both sides We've got our lumen reading and here. It's not exactly dead You know light so we've got a little bit of an ambient because it's not dark So we've got a 10 lumen difference in that one just from stock standing here So our right side we've got our upgraded bulbs and the left and this left side here We've got the upgraded bulbs with tint. So let's go ahead and turn on the headlights So we find the middle of the beam Middle of the beam right there. We're at about 800 820 Lumens on this side go ahead hit high beams Find the midpoint here We're about Just over a thousand when we hit the midpoint on this side Alright, so now let's walk over to the other side turn lights off All right low beams so we are actually Maxing out the meter Let me get off off cue here 1950 lumens and I can't even imagine hit the high beams and it's gonna yep We're way off We're gonna have to scoot back 10 or 15 feet to be able to get under 2,000 lumens. That's crazy guys Just getting you guys an overview of what the tint itself is gonna look like This is your stock headlight housing still all that chrome hanging out and with his specific truck having the nice blacked out Wheels all the dark trim and all it's gonna make a huge difference between the stock Over to now our mid tint God that looks amazing. I Love how that turned out Not a single wrinkle in sight That is one pretty piece of machinery We even were able to we had to pull the the stock fog lights out of the assemblies to be able to get in there Because they are recessed in quite a bit, but we tinted those as well made a big difference there in the front end So let's go ahead and get the other headlight tinted and we'll look at the full overview once we get that one done Here we go guys finished product right there 24% tint on those lights and They are crisp that give this truck a whole new look to it And it's gonna give you the same lumen count as what you had before on your factory So there's nothing to really complain about that one. I love it Absolutely love it and then to boot what we didn't show is Let us scoot on over to the rear here Because we tended the rear too the subtle mid tint of that 24. I think it looks Absolutely awesome. I love it. I'm sure Alex is absolutely gonna like it too.
