Default Smoke + HID's?

I want HID's, dont want to blind anyone with them tho

Would getting the stickercity smoke light tint do the trick?

You should just be able to aim them down a little to reduce glare for others. My experiences with HIDs are that if you want them, you want to blind other people! You're one of those rare breeds!

I'm actually on the other end. I want smoked headlights, foglights, and tail lights. And I wanted to know if HID's will help light shine through the smoke and maybe have an equal-to-stock light output.

Should work!

Actually after thinking about what you personally wanted, instead of smoking the the headlights you could just paint your silver relfectors black and whatnot, so therefore your not actually loosing any lighting power, just a black backround on your headlights and no legal issues as well
