No... That sounds like a horrid idea? What darken a light emmiting object that allows you to see better? It's dark you turn your lights on not to turn on the shade... Srry just my opinion no real hate

If you want stock tinting, just leave the headlights out in the sun for a while. Yellowed tinting for free! IMO, I wouldn't tint headlights...

Mine were tinted until a week ago. Replaced them with Soarer headlights. The tails still are though and will remail that way for now.

Ever since seeing this picture, I've been a fan of the look. I think as long as they're not too dark you'll be fine.

I don't have tinted head lights on my sc yet but I do on my g35 no issues, it's is the spray kind but I do recommend the vinyl tinted uv protectant film I have it on my tails it looks much better than the spray

Here a pic of my G's head lights sprayed :

Like I said mine are pretty dark and I have no issues same amount of light as before or so it seems
