Should i tint my headlights?

Hi, i have a 2006 Infiniti G35 Sedan and i have a black "nightshade" on half my headlights to give a different look when i drive, but it seems as when i drive i feel like i don't get the looks i want just more of a funny or not serious look. So i thought to my self and i'm trying to decide if i should remove the night shade and have it plan or remove the night shade and tint it all dark? What do you think?

Thanks, everybody opinions is truly helpful!

Pictures of my car will be posted tomorrow to help out with your decisions.

Tinting your headlights is never considered a good thing. Clean off the yellowing and sport some crystal clear lenses; its always the best choice.

I've always hated tinted headlights, brake lights. it's literally just asking for an accident, and you will be at fault no matter what. I was just following an s10 blazer a few days ago with tinted brake lights. didnt even know his lights were lit until I was right up on his ***. had no idea he was slowing down. as for tinting headlights, it kills output, and makes nighttime driving suck, especially on the highway. if you really want it blacked out, bake the lense off and paint the inside (but not the actual reflectors) to darken it. or do a projector retrofit and black everything else out.
Here are my custom headlights in my Jeep. h1 projector retrofit, and the chrome reflector was painted dark. Name:  20150701_151902_RichtoneHDR_zps69qmfpor.jpg

I would remove it, and just give your headlights a good restore.
Leave the headlights as is and enjoy the car. These days I feel a good clean stockish look is more appealing.

I see so many modded G35 coupes and sedans in my area these days that a good, clean, stock looking sedan catches my eye more.
