Default Window Tinting experts --- Need some help

I recently had my entire front window done about 1.5 weeks ago.. I noticed when drive at night all lights seem to be fuzzy when you look through the front.

I took it back to the shop that did the tinting and they had no clue what it could be..

Does anyone know what could have caused this? I have heard things like the adhesive my have not be apply correct on the window?

Any help you can provide would be great. The shop has already agreed to redo it next week, but I am curious as to what might have caused this.

Thanks.

Jesse

The price was $60 for the front.. It looks really nice and keeps the sun down really good.

Thanks, wanabe. I am having it done again on Monday and will post if I have better success this time. In florida I understand this to be not legal also.. but so is driving over 100 mph on the florida back roads

I believe it is illegal in all 50 states to tint your front window. IMHO I think its careless and unsafe. But thats my 2 cents

plus i personally think its ricy but hey its your car, but to awnser your question it looks like a case of cheap film, there are many different grades of tinted films find out what kind was installed it makes a world of difference the brand and grade 3M best, LLumar second best, Madico is decent, sungard ok anything else is garbage just my .02
