just paint the outside lenses black.

Yeah and at night you can't see anything at all, i'm going through that problem right now. But i think the solution would be if you upgraded to an after market HID kit with 8k or 10k bulbs. they will be a lot brighter and i'm sure the 35w is way stronger then stocks that we have. they have some hid's that come with 50 watt output which means brighter and will take away the brown glare.

To each his own but things like this are so stupid and pointless to me. Why buy a car with great Projector headlights / HID's and then cover them up with cheap *** headlight tint.

nevertheless, it's a look. plan and simple. the film also protects the the headlight from road debris.

Right, your look, your car. Just my opinion. Oh definitely for protection clear laminate is good (wish I had done it from the get) I just don't get tinted laminate.
HID's:
No offense but you don't know what you are talking about. Just because they look pretty doesn't mean they are brighter. Kelvin is the measure of color temperature, not brightness. It's not debatable, your are wrong.

dude, do you think i can check out your car, can you post some pics?? your ride looks really sweet on your profile pic, looks like you got a tsunami body kit and also in brilliant black. do you know wut it might look like with just the inside of the lights painted black instead of a tint on the headlight glass?? also, have you tried piano black b-pillars on your black 8 before?? i'm trying to get some, but i searched on the 8 club and some people say that the piano black look doesn't fit the car too well, wut do you think??

point is that you can upgrade from stock which is around 3k range up to 4k+ with 50watt which will make your lights a lot brighter.

Haha, I'm cooler than a polar bear's toe nails. You asked me the question, just giving my honest opinion. If you like them then it's all good.
Yes, I have interior LED's and yes they do serve a purpose, they are much better than the factory bulbs. Since when do LED's serve no purpose, haha. You guys are funny.
