10% on the back and 15% in the front has worked for me here in california for the last 2 years.
No offense but I think that it should be illegal to drive at night with those tints.

no offense taken.
curious why you think so, tho.

i really like the privacy factor with the 10/15.
10 is dark enough for the back where if u are driving past you cant see directly in but if you are on foot or close you can still see through it. the 15 works good too bc its just the right amount of lightness to keep police off my back. they can still see thru but not see exactly whats going on or even the race i am. i smoke in my car and have a gf so i like to be free of police eyes and other drivers eyes, night and day.

I think so because I consider peripheral vision to be critical to driving safely. It's important for instance if someone is changing lanes into the same lane you are about to move into, and you can only see that person through your side window.

You have a 15% side window tint. That has a comparable degree of light transmission to my polarized sunglasses. I would never dream of driving at night while wearing those and calling it safe.

Your front vision is fine if you have no tint, but your lateral and rear vision is highly compromised for night driving. I put safety above privacy - I'm no Lindsay Lohan.

On a boat...?! Don't you have a red one already, or am I mistaking you with someone else?! Anyway, do a second darkest; I think it's 30% (especially if you have a light interior)... And whatever you do, make sure the front windows match the rear...!
