How about headlight decals?

These are just vinyl decals that are translucent. They look almost original and more subtle than the painted, smoked, or chromed flamed. Anyone have any experience with them?

Maybe it might look cool, especially because it says MINI but it is a bad idea for several reasons.

1. The translucent part, right in front of the low/dip beam, will glow very brightly and scatter light all over, causing dangerous glare for the oncoming driver
2. The decal will alter the light pattern on the road in front of the vehicle, reducing night time visibility
3. There might be legal issues with the obstruction of the headlights

Just one Hobbits opinion
