Headlight tints

Hey guys should I tint my headlights for now? Me and my friend are working on a new set of headlights but thats gonna take a long while lol. We have too many ideas for it none of which are happening lol. So i was thinking of tinting the current headlights with just regular film so that i can take it off when returning the lease. Our estimate for the new headlights is next summertime so for now would it look terrible tinted or not really?

You can try tinting the headlight and then making cut outs for the low beam or whatever design you like for now since your working on a new set of headlights.

lol yea i dont let people cut me off haha. the thing is that i used to have tints on a murano but i had some dark ones for a bit and with HIDs they still looked pretty bright. may be thats because i had 6000k fogs as well but still.
