It does look good, I'll give it that much but seriously, doesn't it cut down on their effectiveness?

I'd have to believe it'd be like driving a first generation Mark VIII. They work almost as well as trying to use a couple of fireflies for headlights.

The VHT does cut down on the light output, one reason Im glad I dont have it on my headlights. I thought I had a light out when I had on the regular tinted lights vs stock lights. I went to Silverstars, didnt really notice any change.

2 coats on my tails and they are at the limit in daylight.

Im happy you were able to salvage your headlights, but I hope it lasts, VHT is really some sh*t stuff, honestly....

The Ebay tints I'm sure are just fine but the rattle can jobs look darker than inside of a boot.

I agree. I'll never understand wanting to dim headlights/brake lights. Especially spending money to tint them, then spending MORE to put in HID's because now you can't see. Seems like something to leave to the ricers.
