My Blazer came with the Chevy 'privacy tint' and I don't think I'd want it any darker. At night it can be a little tricky, especially looking to back up. And Matt, no offense, but call me 'Richard'. I hate beingaddressed just by my last name. Guess it's a holdover from gym class in school.

You poor, poor people and states that require inspections and stuff....I have 15% all the way around and a windshield visor about 2" below the line, and although it IS technically illegal in Wyoming, we don't have any safety, emissions, or any other kind of testing! Besides all that, I have a buddy who is a cop and says there are only two law enforcement tint meters in the state! Hooray for states with not enough people to care!

Jeremy, in your earlier post you said 'Superbright'. If that's correct, which of these bulbs did you use?

or

i would get the 3w luxeon one instead of the 25 LED one. i have a flashlight that has something like 40 LEDs in it and i also have a beastly 5-Dcell Mag-Lite with a 5watt Luxeon LED in it and it isway brighter than the 40led one...

also from that chart, the 25LED one has a 30 degree beam pattern and the Luxeon one has a 130 degree pattern. i take that to mean, the 25LED one is more like a spotlight and the luxeon is more like a floodlight

Default RE: window tint

here in tennessee on cars you can have it darker that 35% on any window. trucks and suv's can be as dark as you want on the back and side windows but the front two cant be any darker that 35%. and the front can have tint down to that line. mine is 10 or 15% i cant remember which and i haven't had but one run in w/ "johnny law" but he let me off.
i thought in FL you could have it as dark as you wanted?
