What percent tint?

Well i have decided to take my car to get the windows tinted as soon as i bring her back out. I was wondering what % tint i should go with, i want it to be dark but i still want to be able to see out of them somewhat, i had 5% on my bronco and i couldnt see jack **** at night, but i really want them to be dark cuz im planning on going crazy with the stereo system in it so i dont want anyone seeing in there, what do you guys think?

I got 30 on mine, and it isnt as dark as I was wanting it to be.. Sometime after I get my car far enough, I am gonna take it back and have them go with 20 all the way around.. I can't go that dark because my legal limit is 30. And I wouldnt be able to see at night because of my headlight blackouts makes it hard already.. lol

*cough* 5% *cough* Here's a pic of mine. the interior lights are on, just for reference





The last pic is looking out from the inside of the car, just to give you an idea. I just took those, it's pooring down rain so I can't pull it out and grab some shots, but there's an idea.

I would never get any that couldn't. That's way too much of a hazard for night driving, which I do a lot of.
