I am from MA and the rule is to "Must allow more than a total of 35% light in" so do I need to buy 65% - 70% tint ? or 35% is the correct one ? Thanks

you need to go online and google the tint laws in mass, I got pulled over had dark tint and luckily the cop was friendly since I have 9 tinted windows on my SUV it would have been a lot of money - the fine that is. I do not recommend using the Gila films though, they are super cheap films. find a tint shop near you many are reasonable and are trained. so many people try to do their own car which is why you see bubbles and purple 3M crap - the Gila film is from Llumar but they have better quality the Gila is as basic a film as it gets

What is "less than optimal light"? Is it indoor lighting? Is it outdoor street lighting? Haven't had a chance to shoot in the night with the weather outside. Indoor, it seems be fine.

I'm not sure, but they would probably be ok if you did not have more than just light window tinting.

I have the natural light shade. It doesn't block all light out like a blackout curtain. I do live on a corner street and have car headlights all the time. It does keep most of those lights dimmed at least.

My guess is you have a double / 100% magnification depending on distance from magnification . Bulb supplied is 100 watt equivalent fluorescent bulb or could be utilized. My guess is you could find replacement glass shade, but I suggest trying standard shade first.

One layer of tint on the light and if your planning to use enough rolls to cover your front and back lights your gonna need like 4 rolls, I just did my front two headlights.

With this emitter type you could get a green tint . I bought two, one is more green than the other so it seems to be the luck of the draw . Could try to exchange but there's no guarantee it will be better or worse. that's the bad part of online shopping you can't compare before you buy

Hello Mr. Curtis. I bought these a while back and found they make your headlights "whiter". They have a very light hint of blue. These ARE NOT even close to HID intensity. They are slightly brighter, but not significantly. I would try Phillips Crystal Vision bulbs. They are about as good for 35 rather than 50+. I bought them and had them burn out within several months after use... I'm not sure if it was something I did or if it was just a bad batch. A friend of mine also had some really good luck with ebay bulbs that were "XEON" or something like that.Here is how they looked in my car: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3965245/2003-hyundai-accent/photo-gallery/ Hello Mr. Curtis.

My experience is that if you put a higher watt bulb in you run the risk of damaging the lamp. I would stick with the two 35 watt bulbs.

Hey Cheri...the lights come with the bulbs and everything else you need for installation. I had my mechanic install them. Just make sure they are aimed correctly. I have a silver satin RSX and these lights look stunning on it . They give the car a tinted light effect without the actual lens being tinted and without having to take off a lens cover for night driving. BTW...where is your locale?...would you like to share some pics of your ride?...I'm in Baltimore, MD. Take care.

Looks like 5%, it's not a rated percentage but it's pretty damn dark, consider your taillight blacked out! But with perfect lighting!

My 52yo eyes like it set to white during daylight, in both the Sienna and the CR-V. (Yup, got 2 of them!) If wired properly, it dims nicely at night too.

If all else fails, go to your local auto window tinting or home improvement business that installs window tinting or solar film on your car or home windows. Ask for some scraps and cut to fit the center portion of the clock (or any other light source you want to dim). The tint film comes in different densities, and if the darkest is not dark enough, you can always layer several together for total control. Use a coin, compass, glass or bottle bottom as a template to cut it nicely to fit.

No, you don't need total darkness but you don't want to use it as you would a normal monocular either. You certainly wouldn't want to direct the viewing field to street lights, etc. during use but those far off lights should not present a problem. The cap that is on the objective lens should not be removed during daylight. We are in a rural environment but are surrounded by island of very bright light on our horizons and we have traffic that goes by our home. Both can give our eyes a reason to readjust. It was bought as a Christmas 'toy' and has given a great deal of enjoyment. We too are happy with the purchase.

I get frustrated because retrictions on bulbs vary by brand and model and they don't always advertise the restrictions until you open the package and read the fine print. Here are the fine print restrictions shown on the 'inside' packaging of the Cree 18-watt (100 watt equiv) bulb: Do NOT use in enclosed fixtures. Allowed temperature range: -13F to +113 degrees F. Suitable for damp locations but NOT where exposed directly to weather or water. Not intended for use with emergency exit fixtures or emergency lighting. My words: (You might find the 60 watt allows enclosed fixture use but not the 100 watt) I get frustrated because retrictions on bulbs vary by brand and model and they don't always advertise the restrictions until you open the package and read the fine print.

Your question is misleading. 65/55 pertains to the wattage of the bulb not if they are high or low beams. Additionally it depends on the car for high/low. These bulbs are H11, meaning that if your cars headlamps are H11 they will fit, if your highbeams or DRLs are H11 they will fit, if the fog lamps are H11 they will fit. Do they have a blue tint? No not at all, they are only slightly white, and are much more yellow than desired. If you want blue or white without going HID go with something that says 4500-6000K (kelvins). That is the color of the bulb (3500 yellow, 5000 pure white, 6000 slight blue tint, 8000 violet, 12000 pink). They are very easy to install, screw bulb compartment, unlatch old bulb, remove old bulb, replace with new bulb, relatch, rescrew and you are all set.

There is a granite tint on the rustoleum brochure. Don't do like I did and buy the product online from a company that would not tint. I called rustoleum and they had me go to a home depot (where I should have bought it from in the first place) to get it tinted. It can not be used without a tint.
