Yep. That's it.

Yeah, it definitely reduced visibility a bit. I might get the fogs installed to help with that.

can you give a comparison of how much light is lost with the headlights tinted? is it still driveable or is it to dim?

Thank you

Thank you
It's not that bad. My wife drives it every night coming home from work too. I'd say it's about 75 %

Looks great, but are you sure it's legal in South Carolina? I have been stopped for smoked liens covers on another car. Again, looks great, but .......

Yeah, not sure either. But I bought the v6 fog lights to help with visibility. I've driven past several roadside patrols and no issues so far. They gave me a good look but never stopped me. Luckily I'll be able to peel it off if that happens and hopefully avoid a ticket.

I installed the Starkey Products fog light kit this morning before the wife took the car to work. The tint is just a bit too dark and we needed some extra lighting. I'll be interested to see what she says tonight after her drive home. If that doesn't do the trick then I guess we'll try a lower shade of tint.

Yeah. It is pretty pathetic. :-) But I do like them. I hated those plastic inserts.
