I have never had any of my cars tinted before. If I can find a tint that allows me to see at night the new car is going in for it. Thanks guys. Obviously no windshield tint for me.

Also I do not understand the percentage value's when it comes to tint.
I think I'm going to mostly agree with Patrick on this one but I'll throw in my 2-3 cents.

I would go with 35% all around if you have issues at night as it stands, it shouldn't make it worse at that level. If you don't have issues at night presently but don't want to induce them I'd go 18% rear and 35% sides. I've driven cars with several different levels of rear tint and frankly...I notice almost no difference in rear-facing visibility other than the color of the headlights behind you.

I would also probably do a 80% tint on the windshield. I know what you might be thinking about the windshield but hear me out. 80% is damn near clear and will still block heat/UV like a boss since the percentage has much less to do with blocking heat/UV in the grand scheme of things. At 80% on the front you're still blocking almost half of the energy that would get in and better than 99% of the UV. I opted for 70% and have not regretted it even for a moment.

Please reference this sheet for a point of reference:
