I got my windshield tinted. It's ONLY legal if you have a note from your eye doctor or skin doctor. My windshield tint is VERY light, and it's primary purpose is to block 100% UV radiation. It also greatly reduces glare. For me, this is good, since my eyes are hyper sensitive. I can see very clearly now, better than with dark shades. Check the DMV vehicle code section for the exemption. Of course, I got mine legit. I love it! I don't squint anymore, so I think it's safer. So far, (knock on wood) I have NOT been pulled over for it. But it is so light that it's not obvious.

Front is only about 10% tinted. It's very light, so I can see well even at night. It's main purpose is for UV protection. Only legal by prescription.
Check your local codes for the exemption if you qualify.
