Default Tinting Headlights

Has anyone ever tinted their headlights ? My local tint shop says there is now a tint that is like the murals guys put in there back windows that you can’t see in but you can see out. Same thing with the dark headlights tint, headlights look dark but when you turn on the light it looks almost as if normal amount of light. Any info on this ?

I personally don't recommend it though as any type of tint is going to reduce light output.

Also consider it's another excuse to pull you over.

Just as a point of reference for the OP, StsyinStock has a vinyl wrapping business. He'd be the man to know.

Yeah I've installed this film for customers before, it murders light output. Anything that dark will though. It looks cool for tails, I'd never put it on anything I own though.
