No such thing. If you want to reduce their effectiveness, tint them yourself.

VHT makes a product called nightshade, its sold in a spray can, and a few parts stores carry it, and if they don't they can order it for you. A few light coats makes a big difference in color, but usually won't reduce the effectiveness too much.

Heres a couple shots of mine, they really aren't quite as dark as they appear, but the markers are(they have since been cleaned and repainted though)

hmm....with h.lights off, have someone stand in front of the car and hit the high beam, hence the 'flash-to-pass'

btw, dont really use this feature much, if at all, here in the states at least...
