inteligence and stupidity...

all joking asside, Its best to leave your headlights alone. A buddy of mine dinted his on his black infinity. Oh it looks super sweet and whatnot, but when the sun goes down, its pretty much worthless. If you cant see where you are going, style has been taken to far.

I had the tint shop do my headlights with Vinyl and it looks pretty sweet, and doens't hinder my headlights at all, and at least with vinyl, you can always take it off if you get tired of it, spray tint you can take off, but it leaves your headlights a dull glass (plexi-glass look) when removed
