It's really not that bad especially with HIDs, but I wouldn't do it on a vehical that gets driver a lot in tight areas in the dark.

Well I am extremely color blind, which also has a pretty substantial effect on my night vision. My truck is only 15% on everything but the windshield which is clear and I still have to roll windows down to see at night.

Don't know how you guys aren't dead. I had 5% on my old s10. Never again. If someone was driving with no lights / dim lights you couldn't see them, pedestrians are even worse. I can hardly see out my side mirrors at night with 20%

I have super sensitive eyes. I have to have the auto-dimming mirrors plus my 35% tint at night or the headlights behind me make my eyes water. I would put tint on the windshield too, but I always find the cop with no sense of humor, so I just run the darkest legal tint on my stuff. I can't see outside without sunglasses. If I forget them my eyes water so bad I can't see where I am walking, let alone driving. For this reason, I keep 1 or 2 spare pairs of sunglasses in every vehicle.

Presumably the other guys tinting dark are like me, and can see better with a dark window than with a clear one. I probably descend from a family of night watchmen or something lol

I think I pay $180 sides and rear $90 more for the windshield.

My guy was gonna do my extended cab for $185 including windshield, or just over $400 for ceramic tint. Off the street price is a tad higher just cause I’m a returning customer.

I have no problems seeing with dark windows so maybe I'm like you

I have been on the fence about tinting my truck, but I tow a trailer a fair bit and dark tint+night=can't see shit. So I haven't bothered to do it yet, how dark would you guys go for something like that?

My truck is 20% on the sides and back and 50% on the windshield. My old truck was 5% and 35% on the windshield and it was a pain at night. I tow a boat at night a lot and the 20-50% combo doesn't bother me at all.
