Question headlights ??

alright so i have a 2001 zinc yellow mustang and i've been looking into getting some new smoked headlights.. the car currently has chrome headlights.
i found these smoked headlights on ebay but they say they are "very dark. not good for night driving"...

my question is how dark is too dark? are these ok for night driving (street legal)? and does anyone else have these on their mustang?

that MAY be too dark.


go with a lighter smoke, youll find them there.

also, consider getting some HID's. a good, cheap brand is from www.vvme.com . i bought them from there over a year ago, and they work great still.

yea i had wade headlight covers that i got from jegs and they were way too dark for night driving. they were darker than those though, probably the same darkness as the GTO brand that you probably see. those headlights look pretty close to the same darkness so id say probably dont get those if youre going to do a lot of driving after dark.
