MAJOR loss of light... don't do it it would be horrible and you'll end up running over a little kid because you never saw him 10 ft in front of you. If you wanna do anything just get the headlight pocket covers.

They cover lights up in films because regular clear headlights don't work too well shooting scenes (my guess anyway)

just tint them , thats what i did with the front turn signals, i did one strip of 5% tint and they look black when off but you can still see them when i use the signals, if you use two pieces they will be black all the time.
