I just had a rollup garage door installed that has windows which will

The windows that came with the door are clear glass. What can I use to
obscure the view from outside without losing the natural light?

Some searching came up with two potential solutions: 1) Spray on
fogging
paint, apparently available from craft stores; and 2) Aquarium crystal
paint.

I believe that any tinted or reflective film will work except that, at
night, someone would be able to see into the lit garage. That's almost a
good enough fix, but not quite. I also understand that I cannot add any
appreciable weight to the door, so that rules out adding a thin sheet of
bubbled light fixture panes (like on flourecent lights).

I'd appreciate any shared experiences on this. Thanks.

Instead of a garage this applies to rear facing windows. New construction
behind me makes me wish to alter the transparency of my windows. First
thought is a reflective film that would allow persons inside to easily see
out but block viewing from outside. Day and night.

Suggestions?
