HID question

I'm looking to black out the headlights, but I wanna still have light come thru them.

If I bought HIDs and blacked out the headlights would enough light shine thru to still be bright??

yes.
I will try and get a pic of my headlights that are blacked out. I have 5K HIDs and the out put is still good, the cut off is diff, but I am also running EZ eyelids.

Get smoked overlays from bluebat. HID will produce enough light.

If you wanna go as black as you can go, you need VHT Niteshades.

The vinyl isn't going to be as dark as you wanna go, unless you do two layers.

Spray is reversible too. Just take denatured alcohol to the lens and it'll take the spray right off.

So which is the spray?
And does anyone have a picture of what it looks like finished?
And how well will the light shine thru?

AND! Can I use with LED tails?
