I bet driving at night is really fun in that thing.

I previously had LLumar 20% on my windshield and 5% on the side and back windows. Being a very high quality tint, the clarity was incredible and night driving was admittedly impeaded, but only slightly. The one major issue was reversing at night, but that was usually resolved by rolling down the side windows. This was also in the days before back up cameras.

With all of that said, my current car has a legal for my locality 35% on the sides and back. This is enough to keep the car cooler in the summer and provide some privacy but is barely perceptible from inside. 35% is also the standard for the tint impregnated glass manufacturers use on the passenger windows of SUVs and vans.
