Has anyone with a SXP installed tint on their windshield? If so, did it impact the HUD?
 
Been reading about these on other forums, general consensus is no impact. Would love to hear from someone that has it. The other thing I’ve heard is oncoming headlights look different, more sunburst like.....
 
I had windshield tint on my Durango. Never had any issues. Forgot it was even on there.
 
I don't know where everyone lives but...in my state.... (according to State Police)

Factory tint is what is accepted. Many PSP that I know, have a tint meter in their cars... I am not saying they will do anything but.... you never know... like LED light displays under vehicles... "Murdering" your vehicle is one thing but...there may be limits you are unaware of... I have a muscle car that is a burgundy. I thought it would be cool to put bugundy plexi over my headlights with velcro (take them off at night) as well as a smoked License plate cover.... was informed a no no even if only on in the daytime. Know your laws and be careful

Thank you for sharing this. In some states it is illegal to tint the front windshield below the 3 inch line.

I am aware of a member on my credit union who had his windshield tinted at the 70 percent level. He had a collision and was cited at fault by his auto insurance because the tint interfered with his best visibility. Thus, even if it is legal, you may run into trouble with insurance coverage in the event of a head on type collision.
