I used the Xpel head light protection kit for mine and it does not effect my night time driving at all. But I do have HID 6000K lights.

Your HID's will work just fine threw this tint. Its just the right amount of tint without being too dark.

The head light protection system is 40mil thick plastic that will protect your lights from a 1" stone at 100mph. Thats why it cost so much.....
