To the OP: I think tinting the headlight really depends on the rest of your car and application. Black Dove has gone towards a blacked out look, so it actually works as a theme. Unless you start doing other things gravitating towards that, I would advise against it.

i think it can look good if you pull it off correctly, but tinting it as dark as your taillights is no bueno man. i say smoke your tails and headlights if you're gonna do it, if not. hell no. my opinion.

I tinted mine with a light smoke tint from rvinyl.com and I think it looks good. It's not "ghetto" like some members mentioned, other members here have seen it and you can ask them.
