From others perspectives how bright are the High beams?

**Stealth** · 09-22-2006, 11:58 PM

Ok so flame me now, I absolutly love my tint and although a bit dark at night its doable even without modifacation such as HID's or flicking it to high beams....Anyways the situation lol is i have 5% all the way around...now when I say all the way I mean ALL the way....including the front all the way down every window with exception of the sunroof (becuse the tinter said tint would crack stained glass) everything is 5. Anyways.....puttin the high beams on GREATLY assists night driving...its a big difference and makes it perfect....however how inconciderate would it be to drive around with them on all the time? is it overpowering to other drivers and would i get pulled over for it? ....also I do eventually plan to get H.I.D's ...would this have a similar affectiveness to the high beams? And if so what frequency should I go with? The projector lamp housings...when combined with HID's what is the effect? ...or is basically the projector a fancy name for a aftermarket headlight...Also is there any brighter back up lights aviable then whats back there stock?
Thanks!
Chris

I will begin the flame and say you are an idiot for endangering the lives of others.

**Stealth** · 09-23-2006, 12:06 AM

...im not endangering the lives of others if I dont use them...Thats why I asked here to find out for sure before i igrnorantly did w/e i wanted in the first place....thx for the help?

**lpugfan2004** · 09-23-2006, 02:19 AM

no i wouldnt do this and yes IN florida i know for a fact if a cop sees u running around with them on and u have no reason to have them on and he drives past u he will pull u give u a ticket? doubt it but he will warn you and put ur car on record for the offense

SO untint ur windows and use the headlights how they are supposed to be used

and Burrcold is right in doing this u endanger the lives of others because it makes it very hard to see when u drive by someone on the road

+1. I don't know what your state laws for HID lights are but i got a letter back from the washington state patrol and said HID lights at 4300k or below are the only legal ones.

first of all you are a fucking idiot for putting tint all the way down your front windshield, secondly you're a moron for wanting to turn on your highbeams everywhere you go, as burrcold said, you are endangering the lives of others. take your tint off and drive like a sane person and not a complete idiot.

**Red Falcon** · 09-23-2006, 02:49 AM

Is it even legal to have full tint on your front windshield?

**flylice13** · 09-23-2006, 03:04 AM

nope, not in any state or province (here in Canada)

**lpugfan2004** · 09-23-2006, 03:32 AM

in the US the state law goes no lower than 20% ANYWHERE because some cop got killed by a gunman when he couldnt see the gun through the tint

here in NC the lowest they will allow is 32% but 35% is state law

theres a reason for these laws..... respect them?

**flylice13** · 09-23-2006, 03:57 AM

^^ i hope you're not talking about front windshield. cause i know for a fact that it is completely illegal to have your whole front windshield tinted.

**lpugfan2004** · 09-23-2006, 04:36 AM

yea sry excluding the wdinshield :( forgot that, they allow a strip at the top usually depends on the model car the size of the strip

**Wakenthefallen** · 09-23-2006, 07:27 AM

Montanas law is 34 percent. ive got 25% and im still running a risk

and yes.. untint your front windsheild...

Unless your batman..

**Stealth** · 09-23-2006, 09:16 AM

ahh fuck u guys lol i am batman... i love the tint its what ive wanted... i first had 20 percen all around with a 20% strip....and it wasnt dark enough...so i got it redone to 5% all the way around 5% strip and 30% all the way down on front....i didnt like the unevenness and i pretty much wanted to be the first to do a true 5% ALL around...or atleast in my area....every1 that sees it is like omg thats tite....and during the day i jsut drive with the sunroof open and windows down...cops drive by me all the time....and from the other side of the road lookin at my winshield looks like any1 elses they cant tell the difference between glare and Dark as fuck.... the only way a cop could tell is if he stoped at a angle at a stop light 1 car back and to the side of me...then he could see....humm holly shit buddies front tint is pretty damn dark there woop woop....but still even then im not to woried about cops i dont drive like a madman if i get pulled over its not gonna be for speeding or a dumb infraction....it will just be for the tint and i can live with that cuz thats what i wanted and i love it...yall obiviosuyl cant understand...the people at te shop that did it said the same thing but if yall drove in it ud see its really not that bad at all. but thats for all the warm and kind words asses

**lpugfan2004** · 09-23-2006, 10:00 AM

asses? dude u asked for our opinion we gave it if ud ont want it dont ask

also dont u think its more than needed to have to have ride with ur windows and down during the day and sacrifice ur confort or maybe someday a girl u got with you, its hot as fuck down there ive lived down there before and theres no way i would deal with the heat just for a lil tint nobody can see.......

also you may not get caught by the cops but have u thought what willl happen when it comes time for inspection? what are you going to do? u may have some shop to just say it passses but then what happens if u get caught some mechanic is going to loose his license because of your stupid window tint which is not needed what so ever

theres always a reason why laws are created and i think u should follow them

and someday a cop is going to get you and he is coming down on ur ass and on that day you will apologize to us cuz he may even have ur car impounded until u get the windows fixed? what then? now u get to walk...

and the only windows u can have that dark are your quarter windows because they dont test those they only test the driver and passenger side window then they test ur strip on the windshield then they test the backwindow....... its ur choice i say but im advising u to get them taken off..... once again if u disagree idc im just answering ur question as u asked it.....

overall dont ask for help if u dont want it......

**Stealth** · 09-23-2006, 10:03 AM

i asked for help on lighting upgrades..not asked for help flaming me on the reason why...and inspection???uh wtf is that i dont think we have that...and no i ride with em up but if i here that ka band start beepin on the val1 or i see em i bring em down and open the sunroof...not that big of a deal...and srry for gettin bitchy but damn i asked for help on upgrading lighting not weather i should take my tint off or not...and besides its not a big deal to have it redone the shop that does all my work i been going to them for over 3 years i get bottom dollar everything....not only that i stick around and help with the work most the time and get products at cost, all i pay most the time is a 6 pack of beer and low balled labor cost for my boys that work up there... if it gets bad then shit ill go back to 30 on the front but either way i love it how it is now..every1 does.

**lpugfan2004** · 09-23-2006, 10:08 AM

ok.... well ur answer is no 6000k bulbs are illegal in the states use 4300k if u want brighter bulbs and if u want to rtide with ur windows down.... i would watch who folllows you because some people will folllow you..... its beend one to me before down there on accident

and i DONT want to hear shit about how big and bad you are y? because i dont care ir doesnt matter any guy at given time can kick anyones ass believe me....

**Stealth** · 09-23-2006, 11:14 AM
