...Do sunglasses make the sun appear dimmer?

If you're gonna tint the headlights and think you may get snagged by the po-po, then you should go the vinyl route instead of VHT incase you've got to fix it. Peeling off an overlay is much easier than removing spray tint.

It is illegal (at least in Florida), but it really depends on how much a particular cop wants to bother you

yea pretty much depends how bad they wanna stick you

but here in jersey, they cant pull you over for it, cause it technically isnt illegal, (as far as i know) but if they pull you over for lets say speeding or some other infraction, the typical cop would say, "ok ill let you go with a warning on the speeding but im gonna have to give you a ticket for unsafe vehicle" or some other terminology because its a lesser fine and they dont wanna shaft you too bad lol

yea, basically, as long as you dont drive like an a$$ they wont pull you over unless they just had a fight with the wife and girlfriend and got caught by the mistress and cant get any from any of them... meaning they had a rough night and wanna make someone else's night cr4ppy as well
