A vinyl film is going to cut a lot of light output, even if it is clear. Vinyl is not a great/good/decent choice for a lens cover.
You could try to apply an actual optical filter meant to shade a theater lamp, such as this: http://us.rosco.com/en/products/catalog/roscolux
I think that the daffodil is closest to selective yellow. The other benefit to using these, is that theyll withstand the heat, and also be optically clear.
The spray paint is also optically clear. It fairly UV resistant, but should be topcoated with this ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006ZLQ0JI/?tag=2402507-20 ) to increase the UV and chip resistance. I've had good success with 1 light base coat and two medium-heavy coats of the yellow duplicolor, topped with one medium-heavy coat of that clear. Make sure to clean the glass lens very well, with a paint thinner cleaning. The cleaner the lens, the better the paint sticks.
As far as upgrades go, Im sure the morimotos are an upgrade from a beat up oem headlight, but, despite their popularity, they arent great lamps. Good on you, sticking with 4500k burners, as they are the most efficient. Lightsource does matter, regarding the tint, as HID burners and LED chips produce a much greater quantity of blue light than their halogen counterparts. Good vehicle lighting is generally not inexpensive, though there are some exceptions.
Legally, in the US, you can run 4 forward facing illumination lamps. So 2 low beams and 2 fogs, or 2 highbeams and 2 driving lamps. But not highbeam and fogs, or lowbeam and driving.
