    Need your expert opinion, I made a wrong choice when I selected super dark tint for free when I purchased my AUV recently. And now, I am having problem night time to the point that whenever I glance from left to right, I need at least fraction of a second to get a better look of the surroundings... I find it very dangerous and so...

    I'd like to replace the tint in the front seat window to medium dark and let the super dark tint stay in the 2nd and 3rd row windows and at the rear of my car.

    Now, do you find it "baduy"? Let me know if you have better suggestion?

    Baduy is subjective. If safety is the primary concern, then do what you need to do.
    My '11 commuter is wearing medium magic tint on the windshield, backside window and my left and right front windows.
    But the windows at the sides is sporting a medium black tint free from casa.

    Doesn't bother me even if it's not that uniform. Woudn't want to be to OC

    Tints given for free by dealers are usually of low quality, replace the tint with a better brand for better visibility, i.e., 3M, Solargard, and the like.

    Unless branded yung casa tint, palitan mo na lang ng quality bbrands. Light or medium shade will do.

    Hindi naman baduy. Sa U.S., batas iyan. dark tint ay pwede lang mula second row to the back. Sa harap, lighter shade lang ang pwede (depending on state laws).

    Sa ambulance namin, medium tint sa windshield, no tint sa front doors, dark na sa rest ng windows. For patient privacy (don't want to put curtains, kinakapitan ng germs) kasi kaya tinted ang windshield and other glass panels. Pero yung front doors hindi kasi we need to monitor the people who are using the units.

    On my personal vehicle. 3M FX series super black (95%) on all glass panes. I wouldn't suggest this. Necessity lang sa places where I drive.
