how window tint should be made!

[Jetty LBZ]

i love the looks of tinted windows but wont tint mine cause i like to see my mirrors at night. the other day i noticed my friends glasses were the ones that tinted in sunlight and were normal in low light then thought why cant i do that on my truck?. if they made tint like that for automotive use it would be absolutely awesome! just thinking out loud

Because if you were driving in Az and went into a tunnel you wouldnt be able to see chit!

They change too gradually to be safe unfortunately.

If your windows are tinted and don't change now how would it be unsafe to have them change slow?

i dont see how driving into a tunnel would bother you and the stuff they use in glasses changes pretty quick from what iv seen

is that tint? looks like it just does it when its locked

Can be set up as tint or 100% blocked when locked.

The transitions are in the lenses it's not tinted. That would be expense to change all your glass to that stuff. And I agree. They transition very slowly.

i thought the transition was a layer or film that was between the lenses like how windshields are made? even if that cant be used it looks like they could make something similar in tint.

Would be nasty to have those LCD windows malfunction and your view goes 100% black.

Imagine the lawsuit.

This is why glass is clear or very lightly tinted from the factory.

Invent it and become a multi millionaire! Sounds like a great idea.

I loved 20% when I had it on my LBZ, cut down the inside temps quite a bit.

Heck, I'd be OK with the green stuff they have on my mirrors that tints electrically. I have also wondered why they don't make auto or variable tint for cars. Probably because tint is illegal in so many areas it isn't worth it from a business perspective. I'd love to be wrong though!

I have tint on my front windows, and I have no problem when driving into a tunnel. I just take off my sunglasses (and usually don't even have to do that). Most tunnels are very well lit, except in the mountains. In that case: headlights! (which should probably be on in tunnels anyway)

I have very sensitive eyes (which is why I use the tint). If your eyes are not that sensitive to light (i.e. you have a hard time seeing through the tint at night), you probably don't need tint anyway, just a window shade.
