I ran 50% on my windshield on a bunch of my cars (had light sensitivity issues) and never had any issues at night. I'd probably go with 70% if I did it again, but as long as you don't go really dark it's not actually as bad as most people make it out to be.


Don't underestimate the attention it will get you from police though. Even though my registration noted that it was OK, I still got pulled over all the time, and got tickets despite showing the paperwork for permission. I eventually wound up deciding it was not worth it...
