    tint.jpg I have 5% visor tint on mine and love it. I drive east in the AM and west in the PM so sun glare is huge problem. I also went an inch below the acceptable markings on the wind shield. It has never been a issue a night, I actually think it helps keep headlight glare down. Just my $.02

    I have 35% on my whole windshield. It’s perfect honestly. Keeps glare down, and at night you literally can’t tell that it’s there. 5% on the front windows and 5 over the factory died glass in the rear.

    I had 20% on my F250. Way too dark.

    People in Honduras tint their entire windshields then cut a circle in the tint right above the steering wheel and in front of their face height.

    Oh, and the tint had faded into purple.

    I run 35% on my summer vehicle, and it's pretty dark. It's not bad enough to interfere with anything though, and I enjoy it. That vehicle also has a limo sun strip, 20% on the side glass up front, limo on back door glass, quarter glass and rear window over the factory 20%. Overall, it is quite dark but enjoyable.

    On my Taco, I have 50% full windshield with a sun strip and 20% on the sides. It is easy to see out of and makes it much more comfortable for driving during the day, and is enough to cut down on most headlight glare at night. I will never run another vehicle without full windshield tint.

    On a side note, I highly recommend running a sun strip with the full window tint. I have been pulled over a few times in my summer vehicle for tint and NOT ONCE has the cop ever even noticed that my full windshield is tinted at 35%. My theory is that the limo strip gives you the false sense that the windshield is clear.

    I am yet to tint the rear windows. This is the first pickup I have owned, so I was unsure how easy it would be to back up and adjust to having a bed behind me. They will be getting tinted soon though.
