Default Window tint ticket in PA

I got a repair order to remove my tint in 10 days, but I was thinking it might be cheaper to pay the ticket than remove and reinstall. I searched past posts but it seems tint is legal in PA yet alot of people are getting pulled over. Anyway, the question is; how much is the ticket, also, has anyone ever fought this in court?

Default Get a note from your doctor saying you need the tint...

Bright sun light gives you headaches
You're physically incapable of reaching the visor
etc.

Default Apparently, that will not suffice...

1. Apparently a doctor's note has no meaning in PA.
2. PA Laws are reportedly very vague regarding tinting. There is a link somewhere in that thread that follows the statutes and legal references, eventually pointing to no concrete definition of what is legal or not in PA. If you have the time and inclination, you could probably beat the ticket...question is, what is it worth to you.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/detail/msgs/22750.phtml">Read this thread for more info and links.</a></li></ul>

I read that thread, but the law seems to be open to interprotation.
