Window Tint Question

Window Tint Question
I'm thinking about getting my c6 windows professionally tinted but I'm a little concerned about the auto dimming mirrors and being able to see properly at night. Can anyone tell me if they have experienced a problem due to tinting.
Thanks

I went with Arizona legal which I cant say the percentage is but if you live in a rural area like we do it is troublesome at nite even with the lighter tint, daytime just about right

I have 25% on side windows and limo on back and I'm half blind and NO problems looking behind me with the rear view mirror at night...Hint: Just keep your back window clean inside and out....I only use Invisible Glass cleaner.

I did a light tint on side windows. My tint guy (he's done 2 other cars for me) told me that he would have to use a dark tint on the back glass because it was more flexible. Didn't want that, so left the back window as is. Used a groupon and got both side windows done for $45.

As I stated but maybe it didn't come thru as I wished but living in a rural area, one with no or few street lites it is very difficult to see when making turns into a street, I usually have to roll down my window a bit to see, but then I am older also. In town no problemo

My car is tinted and it's no problem for the mirrors.

I had to install LED reverse lights to be able to see behind me when backing up. Also, I usually roll down my windows when backing up because no matter what, the dark tint is always removing some visibility. I don't know how you feel, but reversing is usually a more involved process and I try to pay extra attention so pedestrians or cars don't surprise me.
I'd rather be sure than take a chance. Note that I also have the auto-dimming rearview mirror and 30% tint. I have no trouble with driving at night (or day) and looking at my rear view for traffic during lane changes, etc.
