RE: illegal tinting
i got 20% on my front windows to match my back and im almost thinking about getting another layer of 20. ive had 5% on a white car and nothing happened but i was driving in a richy area with a diff car i had with 20% and 5% on top of that which was just straight black, couldnt see anything and they searched me and my car. i always thought 35 was ok but depending where you live i just got my front windows to match the rear.

Either that or get the truck registered in another state. I forget what the legal limit here is but they dont really enforce it too much unless you have limo tint all around, then they will give you the option of peeling it off right there on the spot or they give you a ticket. But to think living in Arizona without tinted windows...you would fry your *** off with the ac on....

It is called photphobia, Its a fear of too much light. I have a prescription for it from my uncle. He works for an optometrist.

Getting a doctor to write a prescription is a different story. I know in Missouri that you can get a permit if a doctor writes a prescription and states that you have a condition, not a symptom... and, they will call the doctor to verify the prescription. I know one guy who got a ticket, called 20 eye docs who would have nothing to do with it. He finally went to one, asked about it during the eye exam, and the doctor told him to just wear sunglasses. He told the doc that he had a mole behind his ear that made wearing sunglasses painful; the doc went for that. The judge dismissed the ticket, but told him to update the prescription every year. He's lucky, in my opinion, because you can buy plenty of shades like my Maui Jims that don't even go down behind the ear. He had better not get pulled over wearing sunglasses, though.
You can also try to claim you have a rare condition called Erythropoietic Protoporphyria, where your skin is very sensitive to light, but that's really pushing it.

Yea blame the cops...don't blame yourself for knowing it's illegal when you put it on there in the first place. You know it's illegal so if you choose to tint the windows then accept the consequences like a manwhen/if they come. It's a safty and revenue issue for the cops...they want to be able to see the people in the vehicle. Also with all of the red light cameras (around here anyway) they need to be able to see the driver in order to send you a ticket.
I've had to have my side windows stripped twice and I don't complain about it....it's also free if you strip it yourself.
