Default tinted mirriors?

Hey all

Tonight on the way home from the grocery store. I was sitting at a light in the Accord and a full size pick up was behind me with bright headlights which were reflecting in my rear view mirrors blinding me. And it made me wonder. Is it leagle to tint your rear view mirrors? Would it help not be blinded so bad? Would it be a good idea or bad?

Hi member..
Don't your mirror have the switch on it to make the bright light go away when you change it?

I think he's talking about the outside mirrors...
(and I don't know if that's legal)

Well, for a mirror the light has to go through the tint-film twice, so the tint will be twice as dark as you think it will be.
