Do you what YOU want.  And covers reduce nightvision more than tints do. I have tints, and my nightvision still sucks, but its better than covers. Silverstars and Luminix headlight bulbs don't do very much to improve it either. HIDs, honestly. It's better than driving into a fallen tree because you're overdriving your nightvision at 20mph. Or, if you have the patience, take off the covers at night. I don't have that kind of patience, so i bought tints and HIDs. Good luck! (in reply to lovemy6) Post #: 13
