Thumbs down Headlight tinting

I have a 2013 GT and I am thinking of installing some pretty dark tint over my head and fog lights but I am worried of the loss of visibility. Anybody with the LEDs done this and can you still drive at night?

Contact Big Worm Graphics here on the forum.

The dark vinyl tint will affect the fog lights more than the headlights, but headlights shouldn't be a problem.

Random thought. I know it's pretty expensive but wouldn't it be awesome if someone would develop tint like the louver privacy film for computer screens? It would appear blacked out from most angles and visibility wouldn't be sacrificed.

Well if you are going for a certain color scheme. If your cars is black with red or blue stripes it would be a good way to insert that theme even better. I have seen the gotta have it green bosses with green light tint and it makes the front end pop off pretty nice. Plus I like to be different from the generic mods that take place daily.

I put the headlight covers on mine instead of the tint and it does affect some visibility on my OEM HID lights. However, the headlights look awesome during the day.

Yes, you don't get pulled over for non ticketable/arrestable offenses...

Did you have your whole rear tinted or just the reverse lights? I've had the reverse lights done for a few months now and no problems. Everything is stock, though.
