Hi,

This Light reflection is killing me guys...

I got my tint done @ CarPretty in Phila with LLUMAR ATR 30% Charcoal tint.. has metal in it, so nice mirror like reflection. Loved it!

BUT, in the night there is this "Reflection line" when there is a car light behind at night.

Basically this is how I see it:

' '
' '
' '
' '
( ) < Actual light
' '
' '
' '
' '

So if there are bunch of cars, All I see these multiple light reflections on rear windsheild (even with Auto-dimming rearview mirror)

I took the car back (1hr drive!) to Philly and asked about it, they told me they never seen this prob before.. As advised me to Re-tint with non-Metallic dyed-charcoal tint on rear windshield. So they did it and I still have the problem!!

No one else out there have this prob or ppl just get used to it? but it is very bad, all you see i bunch of light reflection lines in night.

I also experienced this when I first got my windows tinted and thought it was a defect. I found it very irritating, but it doesn't bother me as much anymore. You always have the option to remove the tint if it bothers you that much......
