Mine is 5%. I think 15% would be ok. 5% is pretty dark at night. I didnt like it at first, but now I am used to it, so it doesent bother me at all. Plus I have a sliding rear glass that makes it a lot easier at night. 15 or 20% should be plenty dark though.

I say go 5% all the way around with a 8 inch sun strip across the front. Or you could go with 5% on the side windows and 15 or 20% on the back glass to make it a little easier to see at night. I wont ever have any thing but 5% on mine.

i got 5% on all windows and its cool because no one can see you inside when its day or night, but a pain when its dark and your trying to back up or something, but i wouldnt trade it for anything.

I have 5% on on everything including the strip on the windsheild. then the whole windshield is done in 35% and it makes the truck look like something out of magazine. I live in central Indiana, but I dont try to get pulled over. if I do I roll the windows down. I dont pull a trailer much either. you cant see much at night either. during the day you dont have to wear sunglasses in my truck. I cant see having light tint put on, its a waste of money to me. Its one of the first things I have done on every vehicle

My tint shop has 4%. I have 4% on my back windows over the factory tint, 4% on my door windows, and a 4% strip on my windshield. It is very dark, but I like it!! Kind of a pain at night, but rolling down your windows solves that.

be careful though, because u can get a ticket for having 5% on ur side windows if the cop wants to be a pain. It's the law in WA that u can have any tint on the back windows of a pickup, but 20 or 35 on the side windows if I remember right.

15% all around. I am too tall for a larger windshield brow. You would have to walk up pretty close to see in the truck during the day and at night its really dark but not too hard to see out of.
