Default Question for ppl with tinted headlights

My headlights are tinted on my 07. My light output or quality of light is terrible. I havent seen just the factory headlights yet for this body style, but I gotta believe its better than mine. Im more than likely gonna get some OEM's off E-Bay, but I was just wondering if anyone else's having this issue.

You (or previous owner) tinted your headlights and now you're complaining about light output??

?? They were tinted when I picked the truck up. Im just wondering if there was more than 1 way to tint them. Or if maybe they tried to do something themselves with it or if they bought a set off ebay. Its HORRIBLE and the hi-beams arent any better.

Switch back to stockers as soon as you can find a set for sale (I think there is a set on gmfs right now)... the 07+ light output is amazing compared to 99-06 trucks. Ill give you the benefit of the doubt because it was done by the previous owner but tinting your driving lights is ****** tarded.

X2 plus tinting is illegal I always see them get pulled over and rejected at the inspections just get some aftermarket black housing ones but to everyone's taste but it's on cardomains worst mod list

Oklahoma isnt too strict on tint. I have 2.5% all the way around + 35% on my front windshield. I dont even think we have inspections

I don't mind tinted windows so much as tinted lights... just one thing that shouldn't be modded imo (even tho I am guilty of having the amber markers taken out on a couple sets of mine lol)
