How much is light visibility affected by a set of headlight covers? I'm gonna throw some 15% tint over the headlights... pros chime in?

what would the increased light output benifit if you have decreased light range? seems like an oximoron............?

Sounds like a valid question since tinting headlights is a appearance preference, guy

i meant the distance that the headlights reach. if you have to aim the brighter ones that much more down, versus the regular ones what benifit would it be? i personally would want to see further ahead rather than brighter in a shorter distance........

what's the diff between 35w and 55w? don't tell me 20 either
Not 20... 20 watts! LOL
It adds up to 20%-30% brighter output depending on the color temperature choice.

The difference in output wattage does not increase the likelihood of glare though, that is relative to beam pattern only.

Installed my HID kit this morning from R/S. One quick question. I'll only to use one of the factory headlight plugs to hook up the relay wiring harness of the HID kit. Is this correct??

Yes, you only need one. It only picks up the signals from the harness to tell the relay how to operate your HIDs, and the signal is the same in either stock headlight harness.
