35/40% isn’t really that noticeable on a light colored interior. Assuming your not running 5% tint on the rest of the car, it’s not very noticeable. On dark color interiors the tint looks very dark from the outside.

Where did you get your Osram bulbs? I considered buying a pair off eBay but I don’t want to get a fake pair. That’s a big difference from our OEM bulbs.
Thanks yah I love the tint and I purchased them off Amazon if you buy bulbs they will be $100 and up anything under that and they are fake I paid $150+ 8% NY state sales tax. Osram has a certification code they give on the side of each box to verify they are legitimate bulbs, you put the code in on there website. The RX has a really light tan interior so I am surprised it looks so dark.

NY cops are not modification car friendly at all hahahaha they see a modified car and they immediately pull it over a good 95% of the time, I have only had one officer be a complete toolbox about the exemption sticker and the tint he was an Albany county sheriff and he kept me on the side of the road for 30-45 mins while he tried to come up with a ticket to give me lol.

On a side note I have a super super rare mod coming for the LS430 never seen it on an LS before and I am 100% positive it is the only one in the USA should be here Tuesday from Japan took me a while to find it so stay tuned lol.

No lie told I got pulled over in NY with MD tags in an Acura TL I had a few years ago for my tint which was actually 40% on factory glass, the windshield wasn't tinted. The officers were really nervous and told me the tint is illegal even in MD. I didn't get a ticket just a verbal warning but they had me sitting there for at least 25 mins while they ran the tags and did whatever else. Seems they wanted to cite me but had nothing, the car was lowered had wheels and a quiet exhaust but they asked why I was in town when I got there when I'm leaving etc... but I wasn't speeding or doing anything other than driving, very odd stop.
