Anti Glare?
So I dont even know if i am posting this in the correct section so sorry in advanced. Before i get to my question theres a bit of a story behind it and id love to share it with you all. I am just finishing up a 24 hour work day and I'm currently on my way home and I will admit I'm a bit tired and ready to just hit the sack after I get off the main highways and down onto some more rural streets I am met with a very angry person because I am stuck on a two lane road going 25 mph in a 45 mph zone. And as you could imagine traffic behind me is starting to pile up and with that a very large and in charge suburban or tahoe type of SUV is tailgating me. Now keep in mind its the very early morning so head lights are still being used and I kid you all not, as people on the brink of death would say "I saw the light" ( that was a pretty cheesy comment i apologize) and it was blinding to the point after shifting postions in my car it was almost like a prison break spot light following my every step so finally i pulled over and let the person past. So first i must commend anyone who sat through that story now on to the questions the blue tint that you can find on most newer luxury vehicles mercedes, bmw, audi etc. does it actually provide more of an anti glare protection from headlights and other unwanted light than your generic dark tinting? If so where do you find it? I'd like to hear anyone who has any experience with the stuff your help would be great because if so i can solve this problem and prevent it from happening again!

if your talking about your back window then besides tinting it dark your only other option is the Auto Day/Night Mirror w/Compass. i really like it only reason i have yet to get it in my car is the cost of it. but if your talking about the blue tinted side mirrors those do cut down on the glare.
edit. that blue tint you are referring to is not tint it is built into the glass. my buddy had blue tint on his srt4 and it doesn't help with glare just makes all the cars behind him have hids. lol Last edited by PrEgO CaNe; 12-29-2008 at 09:35 PM. |

yea the blueish hue is built into the glass, its more of a uv protection than anything else. regular tint will really help in everyday night driving, but for the occasional ****head that you had behind you, what i do is flip the switch on my rearview mirror, and adjust the side mirrors to point upwards towards their face(the person highbeaming you)
also i know how you feel on that tired issue, i work nightshifts and continuously go more then 24 hrs with no sleep. next time if you that tired and need to drive slow to concentrate, your best peice of mind will be taking a local route, you can drive as slow as you need |
