Question about Window Tint

Does anyone know of a manufacturer, or where i could buy a tint that does the following:

I have visitint glasses that are clear during the day, and under artificial light, but turn dark, or start to darken under sun light.

I live in an area where there are not any streetlights at night, and i have to take alot of back roads.
I want a tint that is dark during the day, but my windows become clear at night.

I just think that would be pimp, but im sure it would be expensive too.

thanks

That's a really good idea.. too bad it costs like a hundred dollars extra to get the option on glasses.. I shudder to think how much it would be to do the same to your entire car.

Naw.....it wasnt expensive at all. I paid $140.00 for the frames, lightweight lenses, and the option for the visitint.

I just bought them at Sam's Club

I once saw a car from Florida with "electric" tint. It would be decently tinted when the car was running, and was completely opaque when his alarm was on. I think he said he paid $2500 for the stuff. This was also about 5 years ago that I saw it. I don't know anyone around here that does it.

I highly doubt anyone makes a film that you apply to your windows that tints like your eyeglass lenses. It would have to have the material embedded in the actual glass. I too saw the car with the "electric" tint and it was actually a layer sandwiched in the glass. Big bucks.

Not sure about the inquiry, but my 35% tint is fine at night with no streetlights...wish it was darker for the pimp factor though.
