Perhaps you could fit yellow tinted headlight protectors instead?

I wouldn't do it. I don't like the look.

And there are enough vehicles on the roads with stupid lights in the form of feckin' HID lights and drivers who think they need fog lights in clear weather.

And on the opposite end of the scale, those in grey or silver cars/vans with NO fucking lights on when it's foggy :twisted:
