Default Darkening the headlights.

I am curious how hard and how much it costs to darken the front headlights on our stangs - similar to the 01-04 model. I saw an 06 v6 today drive by and he had his headlights darkened and all I can say is it looked freakin awesome. What a difference. I want to darken it to the exact shade the 01-04 is, not too dark. Does anybody know anything about this mod?

That's a little too dark, but that price is very nice. Does any place make that same thing with the exact shade of the 01-04 headlights?

This is one subject i dont understand. I dont know if that tint acutally effects the light the comes thru. But i dont understand because everyone says that our headlights suck and dont give out enought light. So why would you want to tint them if its going to give out less light. Like i said i dont know if it actually effects the light when they are tinted.

I did not realize people were complaining about the headlight brightness. My god, I think there great.

As far as the tint goes, you wont notice any difference when the lights are on. But you are right, it does look nice if its not too dark.

I don't mean adjusting the brightness - I meant adjusting the color. If you look at the 2001-2004 models they have semi black colored headlights, where as teh 99-00 are just regular colored headlights.
