Trying to find a solution for my low visibility headlights after being tinted? I knew by tinting them that it would make them not as bright but they are not a safe brightness? Any suggestions on certain brand and or type of bulb to enhance brightness or any other ideas? Thanks

This would be awesome if you'd post a pic of the lights ON with the tint at night or something and maybe even a daylight pic. I've really considered doing this!

Tinting is cheaper than buying a set of Harley lights that are factory tint. It gives the look that most people are striving for. Raider just added them to her truck and it looks great. I've had them on mine for a few yrs now and love them. Have never thought about tinting since.

To original Poster:

Have you considered removing the tint and going with a lower grade, like 5%, or at the most 20% ? That would probably still gain you the desired look, but also allow for ample light to shine. Also, you have my gf's name exactly... did you steal my truck too?
