Tinted headlight (vht nightshade)

[SuperSierra]

So I'm thinking about tinting my Sierra's headlights.

 

Things stopping me are I have no idea what it will look like, and is it against the law?

 

The law where I'm from was written in 2002 before LED/HID bulbs, the reason I bring it up is because the law says the light must be able to shine 100-150 feet, New light bulbs with projectors surpass that.

 

Also vht nightshade is translucent.

 

 

So should I do it? Or not?

It is against the law, at least in Maryland, but to each their own. I find tinting lights completely retarded, along with windshield tint. It affects safety and can put you at fault for accidents that you typically wouldn't be because other drivers can claim your safety equipment/ lights were covered.

 

This is how our gene pool evolves

used to have something similar on my headlights...looks great but will severely impact the brightness

I think I may of ambiguously worded my plans, I'm planning to "smoke" my headlights, not going to be 100% black or any color for that matter. Just going to be a darker clear

My question is why? Restricting light output is endangering you and other vehicles who might not see normal headlights at on coming traffic or someone pulling out from a side street, just plain stupid just to have your vehicle look cool. Just put a pair of sunglasses on at night and you will get the same effect as restricted light output. Any tinted headlights and tail lights are illegal around here and it should be.

 

Get into an accident with tinted heads and tails and see whos fault it is, not worth it just to look cool.

I had those tints on an 84 monte carlo SS.. looked like nascar.

aero maker.

 

gm trucks have been weird since 87.

in fact my 96 has the tiny sized projector like a bmw...best upgrade.

can't play with tints.

 

going for darker.. there is a way to have a black surrounding within the headlamps, as long as it is projectors. That looks very cool.. and you keep normal lights.

I think I'm going to smoke them, I called the local police department and he said that it's the same rule of thumb as tinted windows too dark you will draw attention. Tail lights must still be red, and headlights must still be clear

 

This is fine

Lots of info, but this should be in a different thread. This is the vehicle builds.
