Firstly illegal. Many inspection places will automatically fail you. Your headlights are safety equipment that enables you to see in the dark. Why don't you wear sunglasses in the dark too? The idea is to get your headlights clear, not deliberately fog them over with a tint.
You know they don't do car inspections in every state right? And some people care more about cosmetic than utility, it's weird, it's almost like people are... different.
My sister's '04 Impala LS came with factory smoked headlight lenses, they look great on a white car. Just make sure you don't get them looking too dark, and remember, it will slighty reduce light output from the lens. Make sure you clean and buff out any scratches/pits on the lenses before tinting.
Just paint the non-reflector parts of your headlight housing, the dark paint reflects off the clear plastic lense and gives the effect of tinted headlamps, but without the light impairment.
You could convert the headlamps over to projector style and paint the entire housing, an example of this is shown on this Mazda6:
yea i dont want to pull the headlights apart to do that and risk moisture getting in. the only problem with the taurus headlights is that there is a decent amount of reflectors and if i pain them the result would be the centennial style lights.
i should be getting a sample of this vinyl soon so ill see how dark it is....its an 87% tint so its really light
ok well i decided to just go with the tint....i found thesame stuff online for 6 bucks for a 24x12 roll
but thanks anyways
