As far as I know tinted headlights ARE ILLEGAL.

Aside from the legal aspect, why? The more lighting you have, the more you can see, the safer your night driving will be.

I dont understand "WHY"
Just leave them alone so you dont need to worry.
Its NOT legal. Changes the light output. ADRs have detailed requirements for SAFETY reasons.
