Default window tinting shade - how to decide?

I'm going to tint the windows of my 997TT (Atlas Grey) but it's difficult to decide on 35% or 50% tint (I don't want to go too dark). Any comments, advice, or photos from those who have actually done this?
Thanks.

Go light. Can you trycars fitted with the proposed tints at night?
What seems great on a sunny day can be a dangeron a dark wet night!

A very good safety point. Finding a car with 35% or 50% to sit in after dark will be a tough one. I'll see if I can find a way to do this. The cars I did sit in, on a rainy day, suprised me as seeing out is a lot clearer than trying to see in, and the glare reduction was great. We get a lot of sunshine hours here in Alberta and we try to visit Arizona etc. so the heat reduction will be a bonus. I'm tempted to go 50% (light) but the shop I deal with recommends 35% for the above reasons. Still, the night driving issue haunts me.
Thanks Bob.
