Default Tinting headlights and taillights
Do you think I should tint my headlights and tail lights?

For my tastes? No. Headlights I want bright so I can see what the hell is ahead of me. This is why I am going to do the HID retrofit at some point. Taillights? No, I want them bright as possible to that everybody behind me has no doubt what I am doing and where I am going.

Are they those Chinese hid bulbs that blind all oncoming traffic and make everybody hate you? Or are they decent projectors?

I had a old Benz that on the switch would make the tailights brighter.
Helps when in the fog or anytime with limited visibility.

I'm just answering the op question bd. No I did not know people did that other than maybe seeing on a ricer on display
