but im pretty sure if you were to tint your headlights it would decrease the amount of light that comes out tho.
i saw it on a truck and it looked tight tho.

Something that I've been thinking about doing is getting some HIDs cause the housings are directing the light more so I don't think there'd be a worry of blinding people.

I've heard of people putting HIDs in stock housings but they have the problem of the housing is so reflective it blinds everyone. Since most of the shine in the housing is painted I'd think it'd project more so you wouldn't blind people as you would with stock housings.

i find it that all the new bulbs are blinding. talking about the non hid ones. everytime i drive there is a car whos lights blind me, be it truck or car. They just seem brighter. Maybe cuz all the new cars have clear plastic unlike my civic that has the old glass foggy type headlights. But my idea (that i got while reading this thread) i plan on painting my projector headlights the same color as my car(inside) and see how it looks.
