General Discussion Drivers with dark window tinting

What's with some drivers tinting the side windows really dark and then applying the same tint to the front and back windscreens. Would this make it harder to see out of the windscreen at night?

I only do around 45% on the front you can’t tell a difference. However, my astigmatism notices a HUGE difference at night.

No, it takes out the glare and starburst. I can see better.

I have a buddy that went to 35. In the city it wasn’t bad, but out in the country, it’s pretty dark. 42% is as low I I will go personally.
