#20989, "Can't back up now cause I just got my windows tinted"


          

Hey. I just got my back three windows tinted at 5%. It's really dark but looks awesome. At night I can't back up at all. I was thinking to put some higher wattage bulbs in my reverse lights. But somebody told me that would only make them a little bit brigther. Then I started thinking about putting foglights in the space. Anybody done this before? Is it legal? Will the current wiring do for the foglights? I checked the space and it's a perfect fit for my aftermarket foglights I have on the front end.

Thanks

i've got 5% on my back windows too, and i just got used to it. now i really don't think about not being able to see, i actually can see out fairly well, i'm just used to it i guess. Brighter lights may help, but not much..like said above, be aware of where you are at. And you will def like how other people's headlights aren't blinding you anymore when they are behind you. I love that...

I have 5% and can't see anything at all if there aren't bright street lights back there. I end up sticking my head out the window ehhe.

5% here and its hard but its not like its a problem. What really sucks is when it snowed the and in the morning your rear is full of ice/snow and 5% tint. Yeah, get used to using your side mirrors.
