    You'd be better off trying different bulbs first.

    well I saw the headlight tints on ebay for about $20 and you can choose between 35 and 20 percent tint. I'd go with the 35 of course because I think the 20 would be too dark.

    There's a GB on tinting foglights and I'm sure he can do headlamps for a bit more $$

    Careful, it looks like it is an offiense to have a coating on your front lights:

    Attachment that affects lamps prohibited

    (7) No person shall drive upon a highway a motor vehicle if either or both of the lamps that are required on the front of the vehicle by subsections (1), (2) and (3),

    (a) are coated or covered with a coloured material; or

    (b) have been modified by the attachment to the lamps or the motor vehicle of any device that reduces the effective area of the lenses or the intensity of the beam of the lamps. 2002, c. 18, Sched. P, s. 19 (1).

    Hey guys, thanks for all your help. I called a couple places and they're charging around 120 for 2 headlights. I find that ridiculous, I paid 180 for my whole car! (excluding the front glass of course) So I ended up going to Canadian Tire and purchasing a roll of "Peel and Cling" 35% tint. I put it on myself for a mere $15.99 plus tax, It's quite simple actually for anyone who is interested.
