Default Tinting the headlights

I have 9000k low beam and I was wondering that if I used the lowest tint for the headlights will it be difficult for me to drive during night time and see the lights.

9000k HIDs already have probably the worst light output of any HID bulbs you can buy so the tinting is only going to make it worse- I wouldn't do it!

yea damn.. how much worse do you want it to be... tinted head light + 9000k HID, you are better off running DRL at night

sorry, purple and yellow totally don't match

films aren't that expensive, if you really like that look, get it, if you don't like it, just take it off... very simple

just a bit of warning though, you already have 9000k with a very bluish color + purple film, i have no idea how the color is going to look when 2 are mixed.

good luck
