There is a reason you only see 1 out of every 5,000 vehicles with "tinted" headlights...Put in some black housing heads or do a proper retrofit.

What should I look for when doing a retrofit projector size etc. I am thinking about attacking this project but I'm new to it should I go 55 watt I've watched videos it doesn't appear to be hard

Don't do anything higher than 35w in mini h1 projectors if you go that route (easiest)

These are not HIDs just a regular bulb like the ones I have but I think these might be a little brighter
