HOW DARK CAN WINDOW TINT BE IN CALIFORNIA?
View attachment 170776
Darkness of tint is measured by Visible Light Transmission percentage (VLT%). In California, this percentage refers to percentage of visible light allowed in through the combination of film and the window.

Back Side Windows - Any darkness can be used.
Rear Window - Any darkness can be used.
HOW REFLECTIVE CAN THE TINT BE IN CALIFORNIA?
View attachment 170776
Similar to sunglass lenses, some tinting film contain metallic elements that help in reflecting incoming light and reducing the glare and heat generated by visible light.

Back Side Windows - Must not be more reflective than a standard window.
OTHER CALIFORNIA RULES AND REGULATIONS

Can I put after-market tinting on the windows of my vehicle?
The main requirements for legal window tinting in California are:
However, legislation signed into law effective January 1, 1999, exempts from the above prohibition specified clear, colorless, and transparent material that is installed, affixed, or applied to the front driver and passenger side windows for the specific purpose of reducing ultraviolet rays. If, as, or when this material becomes torn, bubbled or otherwise worn, it must be removed or replaced.

The main requirements for legal window tinting in California are:
- The windshield and front driver's side and passenger's side windows cannot receive any aftermarket tinting.
- If the rear window of a vehicle is tinted, the vehicle must have outside rearview mirrors on both sides.
However, legislation signed into law effective January 1, 1999, exempts from the above prohibition specified clear, colorless, and transparent material that is installed, affixed, or applied to the front driver and passenger side windows for the specific purpose of reducing ultraviolet rays.
