It all depends on where you are.. city/country.. street lights or no.. your set of lights..

Your first couple days it will be hard to see... but you will get used to it!

I may have a video that I can post up... I'll see if I can find it..

And that question about inside temps going down.. that is a big yes.. I mean I dont have any data or anything, but you can def tell they have dropped since I have tinted the truck dark!

Living in FL i'm really thinking I need to go ahead and do this so my screw will cool down faster and stay cooler.
yes, i cant noticably tell the difference when i get in the truck after it sitting in the sun all day at work and i love it

Glad to hear you guys like it... It was def money well spent. It is dark at night, but your eyes will adjust after getting used to it.. hell, even my fiance wants it done to her vehicle. I mean I still wear sunglasses during the day.. but its B.A. and just makes a truck look SEXY!

I don't wear sunglasses at all since I have regular glasses so anything will help!
