You need a bixenon kit. I have one and it's awesome!! You can do it yourself or buy one already completed.

Tinted windshield and blacked out headlights... Sounds like a danger to yourself and everyone on the road. Best quality light output and brightest is going to be a complete retrofit. I did one on the cheap (could've been cheaper had I not gone as far as I did. See link in sig) that was pretty easy. I wouldn't recommend tinting the windshield, especially with blacked out headlights though. It's unsafe.

While I understand and appreciate your desire to look good, I wish you would consider the safety aspects. Using lights bright enough to deal with the windshield tint will result in blinding fellow motorists. There are lots of other ways to improve your cool factor. Being considerate is one of them. Just my 2 cents.

You shouldn't even be allowed to discuss this in my opinion. Goes right along the level of danger that street racing does.

I hope you don't kill anyone when you get in an accident with all those vision impairments.
