Window Tint Question

Anyone with window tint; post what % and if you have any problems seeing out at night. I really sound like a pawpaw, but that damn wing hides enough police cars. I don't need another visual disturbance.

5% rear windshield and windows, 20% front windows. It is very hard to see when I am backing out of my driveway at night, because there are no lights around. On lighted roads there is no problem. Tint tickets so far: 1.

Mine is tinted 20% and sometimes when it's raining at night I need to put my front windows down when pulling into traffic other than that it's all good.

looking out of the car with tinted windows is not as bad as looking in.

get between 15-20% all around. its dark enough, to do what tint is made for, but not light like 35%

you will get used to drving with tint in a week. then its no big deal

If I had it to do over I would not go as dark as 20%. It is a pain at night.

I have mine at 20% and I don't have any problems at night. Maybe it depends on the tint brand?

I have 15% all around...

I do notice that looking for street signs late at night is sometimes challenging but other than that, I love it...
