If you tinted the Bronco for mostly aesthetic reasons or privacy unfortunately darker films usually look and work better but offer poor visibility especially at night. It's often misunderstood that the darker the film the more heat it rejects but that's not entirely true. Heat transmits through glass by light and infrared . High end quality ceramic films such as 3M Crystalline can block a high percentage of infrared heat and yet still let allot of light come through with high VLT films. In other words you can go with a lighter film without having it too dark and get better performance with overall high heat rejection . The drawback of this film, it's spendy $$.So, I took delivery and all is well. However, I'm noticing some issues when it comes to night driving, especially with tint.
With a combination on how the "A" pillar is arranged on the driver side, and the brightness of the large 12" screen, I think the visibility through the windows is tough -- especially at night. Now, being the guy I am, ran off to get the windows tinted almost immediately. On the outside they look great! Day driving has no issues. However, I feel like my visibility and screen reflection issues have multiplied.
Last night, even though it was raining/sleeting, it felt a little uncomfortable making 90-degree left and right-handed turns.
I'm just wondering what are my options here without going nuclear and ripping the tint off that I just paid for. Yes, turning down the screen brightness all the way seemed to help a tiny bit, but not a huge difference. Should I go back and ask for lighter tint? Or do those think it's not worth having it on at all considering what I described above? Safety first, eh?
