tinted headlight question

vandy0090 · March 20th, 2010, 07:27 PM

I've been reading some things on here about it. Now I'm thinking about it. How bad does it cut down on your headlights?

JoshC! · March 20th, 2010, 07:39 PM

mine are pretty well blacked out. you can see a difference but it wasnt big enough to bother me at all. heres a pic of my headlights

Sexy ride. Can you take a pic when it gets dark with them on and how much the viability is? Reps are in reward.

Mine are pretty dark, and it kills me going down back roads at night. I can run my high beams all the time, and they aren't as bright as my low beams used to be. It's not bad in town or on the highway, but on these dark backroads, it's pretty dim.

the only time i found it sucks in my car is when its raining at night.

Unless you have HIDs it will be much darker.

I still never really got the whole tinted headlights thing... I think its looks bad on everything but black cars, and even then, black cars would look better with smoked clear corners.

I tinted mine and it SIGNIFICANTLY cut down on the output. A LOT of my driving is in the country (I live in the middle of nowhere) so there's no city lighting to help. If it rained, it was nearly impossible to see anything. In the city w/ all the street lights, it was fine.

JoshC! · March 20th, 2010, 09:52 PM

you guys that are havin probs seein, did you adjust your headlights afterwards? cause i dont have that big of a problem seein at night.

Yeah, mine were readjusted. I've been thinking about going to HIDs because the output is so horrible. SilverStars helped a bit, but I can still ride with my high beams on all the time and noone notices.

Like the other guy, a lot of my driving is done on back country roads, and it's even worse in the rain.

JoshC! · March 20th, 2010, 09:57 PM

when i did mine i lived in the middle of nowhere and half my driving was at night.

JoshC! · March 20th, 2010, 10:50 PM

heres some really shitty cell phone pics i just took

Pittbull · March 20th, 2010, 11:48 PM

if u use VHT Nightshade it wont matter how dark u go bc the light goes right thru it.

i tinted my reflectors and with flash they didnt even look tinted even tho they were

with flash

without flash

Bullitt5339 · March 21st, 2010, 12:06 AM

I have to disagree with that..........VHT Niteshades definitely blocks out the light, plus on the clear lenses, it turns purple over time and looks bad.

I did a set of taillights about 10 years ago with VHT, and got them so dark you couldn't see the brake lights, even at night they were just tiny red dots.
