Solusyon lang diyan, don't drive too slowly that motorcycles can overtake you.
Those underbones usually go at 60 kph on provincial highways, and can barely accelerate past 80 kph. You have to be driving really slow para harurutan ka ng motor.

June 16th, 2017 11:32 AM #122Di naman ganun ka slow. Around 50kph naman pero i'm not familiar with the area kasi. First time driving sa looban ng silang.
Badtrip lang kasi when i try to overtake, bigla bibilisan at gigitna.
Pinatayan ko ng ilaw. Ayun humarurot paalis. Nakiki ilaw lang pala

July 3rd, 2017 01:06 PM #123Around 5k to 7k ang windshield only 70% VLT tints from Nanotech and 3M. Mas mura compared to having HID retrofitted. What would be better? Current windshield tint is 3M CS35

The reason why pina retrofit ko ang previous car ko dahil nung nagpa install ako ng dark tint. As in parang idikit ko na yung mukha ko sa windshield pag nag drive ako sa gabi sa provincial road dahil dark tint ako tapos stock halogen ang HL ko. after na retrofit yung unit ko, it was night and day ang difference.
Nabenta ko na previous car ko and ang unit ko ngayun naka HID na ang stock headlights pero bitin ako since 25w lang kaya papalitan ko ng projector at 35w d2s bulb ang system ko.
If properly done kahit mahal ang HID retrofit ok pa rin na investment yan IMO.
kung di pa kaya ng budget ipon na lang muna.

Between dark tint + HID vs. clear tint + halogen, clear tints offer much, much better visibility:
If you think putting HID on dark tint gives a night and day difference, try putting clear tint instead. Much, much more visibility.
However, I understand that some people don't want to sacrifice their privacy for the sake of visibility. From experience, HID gives good visibility even up to 20% VLT tints. If you go 5% VLT, no matter what headlights you have, it'll be too dark.
HID + 20% VLT tint is a good enough compromise, but of course nowhere as good as clear tint + stock halogen.

I have OEM20 on my Mazda 3 right now and CS20 on my Civic. No noticeable difference between the two. The hype on Vkool applies more to its higher-end tints (K-series and up). The OEM series isn't all that different from 3M Color Stable which still comes out cheaper.
If anything, the OEM-series has a greenish hue while the CS has a bluish hue. But visibility is the same for both cars. I'll try to take pictures when I have time.
Heat rejection is still dependent on aircon strength more than tint. My old 10th gen Altis with no tint cools just as quickly as my Civic because Honda's aircon isn't as cold as Toyota's. My Mazda's aircon is even worse.

I know that clear tint plus + HID is better than dark + HID. But as you said some people opt to have more privacy/security on a darker tint. Also its not only about privacy why I choose vkool 70 darker tint has higher heat/infrared rejection. This leads lead to better aircon efficiency. Better aircon effeciency leads to better fuel economy. That is the main reason why ni-retrofit ko dati yung sa 4th gen strada ko. And now yung stock HID system ng strada GT ko ngayun ay plan ko rin palitan ng Morimoto d2s 4.0, XB35 ballast w/ philips xv c1 35w bulbs.
For me unless you have poor eyesight at night you dont need an HID upgrade if you have a clear tint. But if you still go on the HID route, it'll be a good investment as long as it is properly done and you have a budget for it.
