Exactly! I'm on the same track as you, just ahead a bit in years. Now I'm at 50% to be comfortable at night in a convertible (which already has less visibility sans tint). 30% on my wifes car vs 50% on mine is night & day (no pun intended &#128512. Lasik a few years ago also messed with my night vision a bit.

All factors to consider.

Had to edit this. A few examples of tint progression over the years on some of the cars 20, to 30 to 35 to 50. Note the 911 with the towel draped over the door panel to temove the door tint directly after Lasik because It was too dark at night!

Both my 'TB G82 & SG G83 are 50% ceramic for reference
