    HID kits that do not offer self aiming are illegal. End of the story. Will you get pulled over? Probably not.

    32% or 35% I can't remember.

    35% is legal limit.
    get 35% on the driver side, then 25% on the back, and passenger side.

    technically it's 32% because the guns they use to test the percentage of tint can be off by up to 3%, but I don't think anyone actually makes 32% tint. the back windows from the back seat doors to the rear glass can be limo tint if you want. as tinting the passenger's window darker then the driver's, sounds kinda tacky to me. I went 35% on the driver and passenger window on my 2 door gsr, and 20% on the hatch and corner windows.
