well i think they cut close to 50% of the view, not that i have them but a girl friend i had awhile back had them on her 2001 mustang and it was crap couldnt really see that well unless i put the brights on. even than it wasnt that great.

I had them on my Camaro to cover up my hazy headlights till I bought a new set of headlights and I would not drive at night with them on. I would take them off at night as the fog lights were brighter than the headlights with covers.

They cut almost all light for mine when i had it on my camaro for a little bit. Not only that, but those GTS headlight covers don't fit the curve of the LT1 fascia very well.

+1 I have the GTS ones and they don't fit the curve good at all! Probably going to end up cutting them to fit but there is no way I will run with at night again! Tried it a few times and couldn't see anything at all.
