Any issue with your auto-headlights after tinting windshield?

[BNKACCT]

Looking to do a very light tint on the windshield of my 18 tahoe, but I hear that it could effect the auto headlamps and day/night function of the info screen? Anyone had this issue or if they did, know a work around? TIA!

I put 30% tint on my front windshield about a month ago and so far I've had no problems with any of those issues you're concerned with. Go for it!

But honestly, if you think about it... windshield will be darker so the lights may come on eariler or stay on longer, not that its a problem but lets say 6 yrs down the road and you have to change a burnt out bulb when maybe it would have gone 10 years...meh who am I kidding the 15+ won’t last 10yrs...

I just popped off the tinted dome on my sensor. Works fine.

Just, like, flick and it's off?
I'll have to try that.

No not at all. If I see them looking too hard I open the sunroof cover and let in some light.

Use a razor blade and get under the edge and it pops off. I'll take a pic

Show us!! Haha

I have 50% on my windshield and then 15% on the rest of it. I’ve never noticed my headlights coming on any sooner than they should. But hopefully you’re not tinting your windshield that dark lol seems like a non issue to me.

I’ve had dozens of my own windshields tinted and tinted hundreds more. Never a noticeable issue

great to hear! So far, looking more and more like I am going to go ahead and tint it,lightly.

I put a protective "clear" film on our SUVs when we tinted side windows a few months back. Only change is a green tint look on approaching vehicles, mainly white ones.

What is the purpose behind that?

Have had 30% on mine since it was new, headlights appear to work as expected.
