no you dont loose visibility. I painted the inside not the actual light. The only way you would loose visibility is if I smoked the lense itself, which I did not do. Notice the ugly orange reflector is gone

More Opaque light covers = less light transmitted from the source.

Its tinting your windows...or standing under a tree when the sun is out.
