DDE's + tinted headlights

I was just wondering how it would look if i install the dde's then tint the headlights. I just need to see how it would look if i used nightshade on the headlights or with the headlight covers. Anyone have pics of this setup?

That's what it looks like (although it isn't) but if you look at the fogs, you can see a difference. Those are stock HIDs but with tint. The DDEs IMO would look dimmer also. I have DDEs and imagine they would look dim behind the tint.

Also, obviously tinting your headlight would greatly reduce your visibility of the road, and defeat the purpose of HIDs. Suggest leaving them untinted w/DDEs and paint the housing black. I had to toss the tinting idea also when I first got the max, I'd prefer seeing the road better.

Like so. Black out inside with DDEs.

Yeah I agree the tint will just limit your visibility; have you considered maybe eyebrows for your headlights. it gives it another look. Thats what im going with personally

tinted headlights are great if you never drive at night... that's why there are covers for many makes but not for us.. so nothing we can put on and off. maybe one day.

eyebrows are nasty though.. go totally against the hood line; that's me though, some love them.

They have blacked out headlight covers for the 5th gen.. i have them.. it's a b!tch to take them off every night and put it back on everyday
