    All information is very much appreciated, thanks.
    $189.99 is decent if they have an unconditional lifetime warranty and are reputable enough that they will not be out of business in two months. I would go no darker than about 20%, as beyond that makes it near impossible to see enough in the dark, especially in reverse. Also be sure to double check the laws in your area.
