rotating polarized lenses 90 degrees defeats the whole reason for them though.

My polarized lenses just turn the HUD 80s electronic green, lol. Brightness is just fine...

How are you guys getting the windshield tinted? I can not find a place anywhere that will do it. Everyone says it is illegal.

My Oakleys do that, but brightness is about half. My Kaenons make it completely disappear. I just got another pair of Oakleys exactly the same as my other ones w/o polarization, lol... I gotta say Oakley's optics are really excellent. I have a pair w/lenses made just for mt biking too.

I had it done to one car and won't do it again, and the Camaro doesn't have a huge windshield anyways. The advantages aren't worth the illegality, which could be a huge problem if you get in an accident.

I have a film on my windshield but is a heat shield, no tint at all. The film is for the excessive summer heat here in AZ not glare reduction. My HUD looks exactly the same.
The wife's Mazda CX-9 also has it and it does not affect the HUD.

I have 70% Xpel XR Plus on my windshield, I didn't do it for looks(it's basically clear anyway), I did it for the heat rejection(the perks of working for the only Xpel dealer in the area ).

I cringe when my customers come in and get 35%, WAAAAY too dark for my liking, but that's the darkest we'll go for a customer, I've had customers come in wanting 20% which is f'in nuts lol.

But to answer the question(even though it's already been answered) it doesn't affect the HUD.
