The bug eyes led factory lights make this vehicle. Congrats on the switch. Super happy you're happy. I'd leave those wheels alone. They look great.

Here is mine.

nice urban output for OEM LED. I'm still wondering why didn't caddy uses the gunmetal-chrome on the headlights to match the rest of the other lights too?? maybe just on concept vehicle...

So I just ordered some of this: http://www.tintzoom.com/Llumar-AIR-BLUE80-36-W-x-66-L-Windshield-Piece-p/lairbl80-7836-piece1.htm

Specs: http://www.llumar.com/pdf/en/LLumarAutoSpecsUS.pdf

I tend to be very much against tinting my windshields as a general rule for the simple reason that it decreases my night vision to dangerous levels, plus as an automotive lighting enthusiast the last thing I want is to rob myself of teh lumens.

However most reviews I have read seem to indicate practically no discernible difference between having this tint on or not in regards to night vision, yet it apparently does a great job in protecting the interior from radiant heat.

If this pic is any indication it also looks pretty good:

And it seems light enough (80%) that it likely won't draw LEO attention.

Thoughts?

No more inspections in DC except for emissions every two years, otherwise my side window tint would be a unpassable.

Every vehicle I have owned has had a tinted windshield, both currently have 35%, I can see just fine at night time. Full windshield not those sissy brows, sorry blazed.

You're also not 60 years old. Vision deteriorates as you age youngin'.
