I was thinking of tinting this summer. But I'd keep it on the lighter side so it's easier to see. 30% rear and 50% front.

I had them tint the front side windows to match the factory tint in the back. I think 20%?? Whatever factory is, I forget.

But at night, it's DARK. Sometimes even with my aux backup lights I have to roll down the windows to see.

Got the zevo reverse lights in last night before work. While they are a definate i provement i was expecting more. It doesnt help with the tinted windows, may look in into another set up down the road but for now theyll be fine. I was expecting more light thrown backwards but maybe i just need to get used to them...anythi g is better than the stock bulbs.

Think i may go with the 921 zevos for the cargo lights and let the 3rd brake light go, i like my cruise control and dont wanna deal with adding a resistor.

Found the zevo 194 ambers on amazon for a lil over what i paid for the white zevo 194s so im gunna pick some up for my truck and my gf ranger.

Look into the diode dynamic reverse lights. I have tinted windows and I can reverse 9 times out of 10 with the windows up.. For example my buddies long drive way with trees around it I used to have to roll my windows down to see with my incandescents now with these DD reverse lights I can leave the windows up and I can back up fine. Decent light thrown with a great amount of added width.

True. I also think the stock reverse light housings are more for other cars/people to see you're backing up anyway. The reflectors seem to project the light in the same direction as the brake lights.

My rear windows are tinted 10% over the factory tint and I also have the stock Harley taillights. I'm running 6k hids. The light output is amazing!!
