thanks. how bad does it kill the lighting. i do mostly city driving so i cant see loosing a little bit of light would effect me too much.

if i had to put a number on it i would have to say about 30%?if you do a lot of city driving it shouldn't matter much. you'll seethe lights behind it and the street lights will make up for the loss. but country driving isn't such a good idea at night...

Depending on how LEOs are in the area, "impeding night time illumination" is a ticketable offense - smoked/tinted headlights and taillights fall into that.

Email or Call and ask if they're DOT approved, if they're not I wouldn't get them.
