Lightbulb Tint Question

Hey guys, me again
so i got a question, should i tint it or not i got it in black saphire metalic with black int

i got the cold weather so its factory tint in rear but the front is as u can understand

so if i tint should i tint just the front to match and what is that % roughly, or should i tint the whole ride? i am not looking to hide behind the tint especially in this car but some comfort wouldnt hurt input is welcome

i'm pretty sure it's 3M. not 100% sure what product they used.
my X was tinted from the factory and i had them add tint all the way around.
i'll have to check my paperwork, but i'm pretty sure they added 25% all the way around.
the back is slightly darker than the front because of the factory tint.


someone else on here had 5% done all the way around and had the windshield tinted also, but a little lighter.
