Default Tinting headlights to combat annoying condensation!

Hello all. I have thoroughly researched the problem of headlight condensation on the forum and it has been very helpful! There are two types of condensation that occurs inside the fixture. One is actual droplets of moisture that disappear and reappear when the car is exposed to water (sometimes sticking around for a while). The other is a hue/film appearing towards the top of the light (on the interior as well).

Now there are obviously various methods of repairing the problem. Installing a vent is the dealers first method which from what members have said usually is a temporary fix, being that the condensation returns sooner or later. The other fix is replacing the entire unit. Although some dealers put the old wet bulb fixture back into the new casing unit thus not eliminating the problem (the condensation comes back!)!

Today I was looking at used Dodge Vipers on ebay! Don't ask me why, I just like looking at cars. Some of the mid-90 models have tinted head lights which look pretty cool and aggressive. I am wondering if anyone has done this or what you guys would think of tinted headlights on the XFire?

My only reason for doing this would be that you would no longer notice the condensation in the headlights...hopefully, and the recurring problem would not be so aesthetically displeasing! Let me know!!
