Two questions:

1. What does blacking out the headlights effectively do, if anything other than looks?
2. When headlights are cleared is anything else changed, ie: add a colored lightbulb or anything?

1. Nothing, its purely for looks
2. You can add a new lightbulb if you want, its up to you ... there isn't a defined process of how you do it, its a customization! Just remember that anything other than amber for your turn signal will probably get you in trouble with the law.

Does it effect the light output of the HIDs?

No it doesnt effect the HIDs because the part around the HID is still shiney and not blacked out. As long as you keep a amber or orange bulb in either the parking light or turn signal you are obeying the law.
