I'm with you on the headlights, akiba.
But I guess you've never had a car turn directly across your path and not seen that his directional signal actually was blinking until there was barely enough room left for both of you to swerve off your intended paths and stop. Or had to deal with tiny, dim old-time brake lights that weren't a whole lot brighter than the tail lights (think dimmer than the lights that bicyclists are wearing).
I have.
Tinted lights are OK for a trailered show car, but they are a poor idea for anything that gets driven on the street.
Not necessarily aimed at you personally, but the denser the traffic, the more often you're going to run into the situation where your intentions will not be seen (even though you absolutely know that you signalled). Sooner or later . . . poo will happen. Insurance companies will take a really dim view upon hearing evidence that signal light output had been intentionally reduced. Pun sort of intended.

I did!
Front headlights
front turn signals
Pony emblem on front
side reflectors
rear taillights
3rd brakelight
I did it in my apartment parkinglot with VHT Nightshade signal spray..i even sprayed out the pony on the front over the faux gas cap on the back. It's been a couple months and theres no fading at all! I also got redfire touchup paint and outlined the black pony on the front
