We have had a number of questions this month about night visibility after application of the Headlight Armor smoked headlight films. Do smoked headlights reduce visibility? How do smoked headlight affect visibility? How do headlights look with headlight tint t night? And so on.

A number of years ago we put together a night testing series. Full photos on the site here:

We included a head on view and a view of the road / beam pattern. All photos were done with the same vehicle, parked in the same spot on the same night. Included are photos of the Clear, HID Blue, GT Yellow, Light Smoke, and Smoke.

For some daytime photos we have a smoked headlight gallery on the site here:

For everyday use our recommendation is the Light Smoke. Tones down the chrome on a headlight with a lot of bright-work, and on a dark / black housing headlights will look even darker. This option while not ‘blacked out’ will achieve the smoked look, while preserving the most output of the smoked options by a wide margin.

As always please let us know if you have any questions.
