    Looks like what 35%? Im debating on tinting my entire front windshield to see if that will reduce the glare off the light bar a little :anonymous:

    I love my new truck but miss my Tacoma
    More importantly is why is that building built like that and how is that ladder staying on such a unlevel building and not falling over? Lol

    I'm not sure how you don't have a glare. That's a combo light bar and it sits more forward than mine, and it glares bad enough to wear sun glasses at night.

    He has the same mounts as me and mine glares pretty bad, I think enough tint or even a tint strip could reduce the light coming in the cab but I don't see how it would eliminate all the light that hits the hood, unless it dulls it out...

    Dear god how do you see out? I tinted 5% all windows but the windshield when I was a kid, I'd have to roll down the window to make a right hand turn at night.
