does this have any effect on seeing at night? i know having tinted windows has an effect, but im only going 35% so it wont be a problem, but with the blackedout headlights and 35% tinted windshield propose a problem?

and also yes tinting the headlights will reduce how bright they are and how far they shine...

false statement sir. the law stats clearly that you can go as dark as you want in the back, 15 on the sides and 35 in front. yeah i will get pulled over but giving me a ticket wont hold up in court.

just got pwned in my own thread lol my apologies. you can have tint on the top 6 inches of the front windshield, 70% of light is allowed on the sides, and in the back any is allowed

Yes the back you can have tinted.. the front driver and passenger windows you can as well.. the WINDSHIELD you cannot!..

but windshields are illegal in usa unless you have a doctors note for eye related injury..

lol was gunna say ive had alot of tint on my cars.. I WISH i could have my windshield tinted....

but yea thats called the sun visor.. and i do that at 10% as well

front is usually to the markings on the window... which is 3-5"s or 1" above factory mount for rear view mirror...

Here I am not sure what the lowest tint you can have on a car is.. truck rear 0% side rear windows 0% front windows i think is like 35 or 40%

cars i think is 35-40% on the side windows rear not sure...

so if i need to let 70% of light in that means i can only get 70% on the sides right?

 

[subdicted 10+ year member]

usually you can do 30% on the fronts and 20% on the rear windows... and as dark as you want on the back window

but also depends on car and state...
