How dark can I tint my windows?
Short Answer
Window tint darkness laws vary by state and by window position (front side, rear side, rear window, windshield). Always check your state's specific VLT (Visible Light Transmission) requirements before installation.
Full Explanation
VLT (Visible Light Transmission) is the percentage of light that passes through the film. A lower VLT means darker tint. Most states regulate front side windows more strictly than rear windows. Windshield tint is heavily regulated — most states only allow a small tint strip at the top. Rear windows often have more flexibility. Laws change, and enforcement varies. Always verify current state regulations and advise customers accordingly.
What to Consider
- VLT laws vary by state — always verify current regulations
- Front side windows are typically more restricted than rear
- Windshield tint is heavily regulated in most states
- Medical exemptions may apply in some states
- Failure to comply can result in fines and required removal
