Question Anyone try smoked headlights?

I see aerotect has a kit, and I think it would look good on a black car during the day but im wondering how it will look with the headlights on at night? Im guessing it may greatly reduce headlight brightness and not really worth it.. has anyone tried it or have any pictures?

I've seen it, and it "defeats the purpose" for having headlights in the first place.

Also, make sure it isn't illegal where you live. Most states make it illegal to have anything covering the headlights. It's similar to having anything cover the windshield. It does not help with driving, and in fact makes driving more dangerous in certain conditions.

aerotect has a smoked color that is lighter then the other smoked color that they use for the tailights and it doesnt look that bad. I have the lighter smoke on my foglights and its looks very clean. I was gonna get the headlights smoked but i want to get my grill painted first and then im prolly gonna get them smoked
