I'll take a guess and say it will diminish the amount of light on the road. Why would you want that????

i tried using some leftover vinyl window tint on my foglights and it made them pretty much useless when it came to projecting any light. it did look cool from the outside though!

batman did some really nice looking "eyebrows" for his headlights and it didn't affect any of the lights at all. that isn't tinting the entire headlight, but he might have some insight for you.

I dont like how it looks. If you get the clear bra its just like having the clear bra, but just on the headlights. IMO the colored ones are ugly...

Well one thing is that it looks cool and plus im planning on getting higher wattahe HID bulb so i think it will level it out. And plus this is why i came here to ask people that have done it and see how they feel about it.

it does look real nice goes with the paint. Well im trying to see how the smoke one look like. The guy has two different kinds of smoke, light smoke and regular smoke which is darker. Cuz my car is black and i have smoked tails i want to match it all around. I was looking at the yellow but im hesitant.

With blue on the fog lights/headlights at night it gives it a bright white look....NOT HID though....You will see a diffrence


As far as for a black car I say smoke it. Where in FL are you ?

You see i ma contemplating on this and dont know which one to get lol. if i smoke them i will obviously lose the brightness of the headlight but then i am going to purchase brighter HID bulbs so i think it shouldnt be that bad.
