    No such thing. Wag magpauto.

    Dark outside = dark inside. Lighter tint = more visibility.

    Best compromise is magic tint - it's reflective rather than dark, so nighttime visibility is still ok. Just doesnt look as good as dark tint or clear tint.

    Okay good thing I ask because they advertise it as bright inside even using medium shade tint and I plan it to put it on my windshield.

    our eyes automatically adapt to bright and dark scenarios. and so do many cameras.
    that is why, it is difficult to make judgements using our bare eyes, or using a camera's pictures taken on "automatic".

    set the camera to "manual", then make your manual settings. use these same settings when taking and comparing pictures of the various darknesses from inside the car.
    or, use a light meter.

    also remember,
    iba-iba ang mga light sensitivities ng mata ng iba-ibang tao.

    I have 3M dark tint installed in my black kia picanto.. sabi nung friend ko dark daw sa labas pero sa loob hindi naman pala ganun ka dilim kahit gabi..

    Yung officemate ko naman nag pa install ng cheap dark tints.. madilim talaga labas at loob eh.. tapos saglit lang kumupas na..

    Eto yung di magets ng mga tao. Unless the photos were taken using identical lighting and exposure settings (which most people don't even know how to manually setup) - then you can't have an apples to apples comparison of tint.

    Here's how a proper interior tint comparison would be (exactly the same location, exactly the same camera settings):

    Vkool OEM20 (medium) vs Vkool VK70 (clear)

    So even with HID retrofit which is supposed to be brighter but based on the photo it is still dark inside with medium tint.

    yup sabi nga nila, unahin muna tanggalin yung tint bago mag decide if you really need HID
    kung pwede lang ipost yun sample pic ni jut doon sa mga nagbebenta ng tint na dark outside clear from inside kuno

    Yes. Super lakas ng HID retrofit vs halogen but negated by tint. From outside ganito kalayo yan:
    But as you see from inside, mas malakas ang halogen + clear tint vs HID + medium tint.

    Side by side, the difference is even more evident:

    Okay but this is VKool tint brand so other major tint brand also have the same effect? medium tint for windshield is still dark and is dangerous especially when you travel out of town frequently in dark roads.
