Should I get the light relocated to a spoiler or something? (I don't have a spoiler right now, but I could buy an aftermarket one with the a CHMSL.) Or does anyone think the tint wont be a problem for the light?

I'm just making sure it there are no primary offenses available for a cop to get me on a secondary offense window tint.
Bought my car with 5% tint on the back without a cut out for the third brake light. It's perfectly visible when you hit the brakes and I haven't had any trouble from the police.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. I think I might get a higher powered replacement LED for it just to be safe still.

Good luck seeing out of 5% at night. I will never go that dark again!!! 15% is still really dark but you can actually see out at night.

I love fish bowling at night but dread driving in the day. I wish I was ballin enough to have transitions put into the windows of my car.

You really think it's that dark? I'm not too sure on the darkness. Do you really think 15% would be better?

Oh yeah, 5% is limo tint. I had it in my truck and could only see out the front window. I would have to roll my windows down to see on my sides and I hit alot of things backing up.

Here is 25% on the front doors and 15% on the rest. Both vehicles.





Only pic I have of the truck
