Does the Crystalline on the windshield make oncoming headlight at night - for lack of a better word - weird?

Difficult to judge with photos. Don't know %'s of mine but just did the side windows. Drivers/Passenger windows "minimum" tint, back side windows "max" tint. Nothing on back window because with the tilt of the glass it not only doesn't need it but gives a better look behind the car. So one angle looks dark, another you can see thru. I love the result.

Did I say, I love this car.

What is the crystalline on the windshield like at night? IE. Do the headlights of oncoming cars scatter or can you see clearly?

Any one with pics and examples of how dark it will get? I'm almost thinking of changing the front to 50% if it's going to be too dark. Thanks a lot.
You should see your eye doctor, he should be able to give you something to get you a tint exemption so when the officers do pull you over you can't be ticketed because your tints are legal at any %.

That's what I have and it helps.

You have to make sure state allows exemption. Sometimes requires additional paperwork and doctor's note must specifically list recommended/ minimum tint %.

You will get better glare reduction during day and night with CR 70 on front windshield.
