I'm moving to LA in a few months, should I preemptively remove the 35% tint I have in the front and replace it with something much lighter?

50 percent seems way too light imo. Like nothing is there, 35 should be fine. I've had 15's and 20's on my car for the longest, cops don't seem to mind (but others may differ.)

Nah, just leave it on. If you get a ticket, then remove it and then get it signed off and then put on something like 45-50% fronts.

Why fix it when it's not broken? A fix it ticket is only 25 dollars.

even though you don't have to remove your tint, you should probably get into the habit of lowering your window at least halfway when you see a cop. I usually lower my window all the way down (love auto windows) whenever I see a cop, even if I have my AC on. but I also have 18% tint, lol

Thanks everyone for the input! I think rolling down the window when seeing a cop is probably my best bet until it becomes an issue.
