Headlight Tint Overlay

[Mrpringlez]

Hello I'm planning on purchasing the tint overlays for the front headlights and foglights... Quick question if I get the darker 25 percent tint will enough light shine thru the headlights to see at night ? I have regular headlights not HID (I plan on upgrading to HID soon) just want to know If I will be able to see at night with the darker tint if not I am going to get the lighter 35 percent tint... Any help would be appreciated thanks !

I have the 'light smoke' tints from Headlight armor and NO issues at night driving. Cannot even tell they are tinted with the lights on. This is actually my car on their website with the 'light smoke' tint.

I would be skeptical of tint level claims as none we have tested were near what was claimed - more on out site here

From your description the darkest one is going to block most of the light. For us, our darkest material (20%) is not intended to be used on the headlights at night, it is aimed at the track / how car market. Do people use them at night? I am sure they do. Eack week I see somebody driving aroud the Dallas area at night without headlights on... all on newer cars that automatically turn the dash lights on. I guess people see lights on the dash and assume the headlights are on.... so much other light from street lights and what not that they cant tell the lights are on...

I noticed on the site you have armor for the new Sonic, I have one of those too. I am going to have to add some "armor" on that vehicle also. The little Sonic needs protection too.

I have the darkest at 12% and its still very bright. You shouldnt have any issues.

Just added an install video - the Sonic is the test vehicle!

Case in point with some of the claims out there. 12% is either nearly clear, or blocks 88% of the light. Maybe it is a 'seems like' measurment? Notsure but glad you can see where you are going.

12% sold thru bigwormgraphix.com. is the darkest they offer. Ive seen it where the higher % the darker but they go the opposite. Just like window tint.
