Default Headlight tint

So i've just put on some 20% headlight tint and it looks freaking amazing. but on the downside at night it seems like i can only see 20% too lol. the question is...those headlights that come smoked, like without tint (the plastic itself), does it let all the light through? or does that tint fade the light like this film that i put on?

I got smoked lights and I see just as well as with stock headlights.

I have smoked lenses and have no problem with the amount of light let through.

HID kit would be nice, as far as bulbs, i have no idea. but then again, its totally illegal to have anything on your headlights in VA. so i may end up taking it off if i get a warning lol.

i'm really considering this set up. its the hi/low beam, and there's tons of customer images, and they have a policy where they give you your money back plus 30 bucks.
