You are mistaken, the 70% is light transmittance, but the ceramic cuts more UV and heat than conventional film. The difference between the front window with versus w/o tint is dramatic.

And you're mistaken again, the stock bulbs are MUCH brighter than the 12k bulbs. The higher up the kelvin scale you go, the less light output you get. Why not just align the stock bulbs?

As I said before yes the stock bulbs are brighter. I know this. But 1 the stock bulbs look like **** and 2 the blue looks badass. id rather have the look and still have great visibility at night then those stock bulbs

I have 20% for the front, 5% in the rear. I also have a 5% 7 inch strip for the windshield.

So how do you have more visibility with less light output?

he doesnt have more visibility, its about the same as OEM...just a different color, right?

I have 10000K heads and 3000K bumper fogs for when the heads wont cut it... btw i highly recommend the bumper fog mod, those projectors are brighter than OEM heads

and best of all the combo looks soo sick

Different color, yes. Same useable light output, no. Both he and you have less useable light output.
