Default Tinted Headlights

Being new to the corvette scene, please forgive my lack of knowlage on matters like this, but I've seen a lot of corvettes with dark or tinted headlights. Mine is white and think it really would spice it up by having these done like that. So do these have tinted film placed over lens, or are they have a complete set of light that are darker, grey, or even black?

Generally, the housing under the glass is gray or black.

Putting tint on the lenses has been reported to lessen the life of the lens. Law enforcement frown on tinting headlights.

Some vendors on this site will supply black headlights.
