Doesn't that hurt the power of the beam of light from the headlights for night driving?

Was it precut film or did you have to buy sheets and cut to fit?

When I had the protection film put on my car, I had the headlights and taillights done and used the tinted film, I used a local busness and they use the Xpell patterns.

Thanks

I had to cut the centers out my self. It was very easy. I installed the tint, let it settle for a day and then cut the center with a hobby knife, it was a very easy to do.

Blacked out lights would be cool, but even if the first set turned up, i would be hesitant about ordering a set considering how long this topic has been discussed and no new developments have been made. What's the deal?
