Any additional tinting (without special circumstances, as we\u2019ll see) can lead to fines and a requirement to remove the illegal tint or else risk ever larger punishments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-dark-can-car-tint-be-in-california-and-be-legal\">How Dark Can Car Tint Be in California and Be Legal?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>California window tint laws are quite specific when it comes to limiting the percentage of window tint darkness and the window tint reflection an automobile is allowed to legally have. Take care to check all laws and consult your California window tint installer before a new tint job, and know you may only have a limited time to get a car to meet California window tint code if you have brought the vehicle from another state with different car tinting rules.<br>\u00a0<br>The amount of visible light that passes through the window of an automobile is referred to as Visible Light Transmission (VLT) percentage. Thus tint rated at 90% is on the lighter side and is easy to see through, while a tint with a 5% VLT appears almost entirely black. (Note that in terms of total VLT, we refers to the amount of light passing through the auto glass as well as the tint film later applied, so be extra cautious with aftermarket window tint if your vehicle already has some tinting to the windows.)<br>\u00a0<br>The California window tint laws requirements are for a vehicle\u2019s front windshield and front side windows to have a 70% VLT or lighter. California car window tinting laws\u00a0place no restrictions on the darkness of the tint on the rear windshield and rear side windows of a vehicle. However, if the rear windshield of any vehicle is tinted, it must have dual side mirrors in good condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-california-tint-laws-for-each-window-of-a-private-vehicle\">California Tint Laws for Each Window of a Private Vehicle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here are the basic standards for window tinting in California:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Front Side Windows: 70% VLT<br>\u2022 Back Side Windows: Any VLT allowed<br>\u2022 Rear Windows: Any VLT allowed<br>\u2022 Windshield: 5-inch maximum strip at top of windshield<br>\u2022 Reflectivity: No more reflective than standard auto window<br>\u2022 Other Restrictions: Red, amber, and blue colorations are not allowed, and dual side mirrors are required for cars with back tinted windows<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-window-tint-reflectivity-and-tint-colors-laws-in-california\">Window Tint Reflectivity and Tint Colors Laws in California<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To reduce glare that can affect the driver and heat that makes cars less comfortable, some automobile owners opt for window tint film that reflects sunlight more effectively than glass windows alone, but this is not an option in California. To remain within compliance of California vehicle code, any window tint installed on a private motor vehicle cannot create more reflection than is would be by a standard window. In years past, private automobile owners in the state were allowed to use amber, red, silver or other types of colored window tint on their cars to increase privacy, block glare, and reduce interior heat. California window tint laws ban the use of colored window tinting, however.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-are-there-medical-exemptions-for-california-window-tint-laws\">Are There Medical Exemptions for California Window Tint Laws?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, in some cases private citizens can use window tint on their cars that would otherwise be illegal when needed to help with a medical issue. California drivers may\u00a0apply to the state for medical exceptions\u00a0to the tinting laws, which allow certain people to use car window tint (and other materials) to providing sun reduction even on front side windows. However, it is usually illegal to drive with these upgrades at night. To safely adhere to laws while protecting yourself from the sun, it\u2019s best practice for people with medical conditions that merit shielding from UV rays to install material that is clear, colorless, and transparent so they don\u2019t appear to be running afoul of laws and don\u2019t have to regularly explain their exemption to authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-get-a-california-window-tint-exemption-application\">How to Get a California Window Tint Exemption Application<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>California motorists can get a signed and certified document from a licensed dermatologist, optometrist, physician, surgeon, or certain other professionals stating that they need window tint to shield them from excess sunlight because of a medical condition with sever implications without the tinting. Automobile owners can submit such a letter along with a\u00a0window tint exemption application\u00a0to the California Department of Motor Vehicles and then wait to receive permission to use darker car window tint. This was granted by California windows tint laws passed in\u00a02017 that still apply in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-getting-a-window-film-certificate\">Getting a Window Film Certificate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Automobile owners in California who have vehicle window tint are required to have a signed certificate from either the window film manufacturer or the tint installer that clearly states the window film\u2019s VLT percentage. The certificate must display both the name and the address of the window film manufacturer or the installer. Tinting manufacturers must also certify that the film is legal to use in California before they getting permission to sell the product there. The driver with tinted windows must keep the certificate inside the car at all times, just as with the registration of the car. California state law also requires all tint film installation companies operating in the state to give the vehicle\u2019s owner a sticker or official certificate displaying their name and address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-against-the-tint-law-what-window-film-regulations-prohibit\">Against the Tint Law: What Window Film Regulations Prohibit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The California statue that pertains to car window tinting is Vehicle Code 26708. This statute prohibits owners of automobiles from attaching materials or objects to the windshield, side, or rear windows that can obstructs a driver\u2019s vision. CA police are known to be strict in enforcing these rules. Vehicles are not allowed to place stickers or any other decorations on either front side windows or on the windshield, beyond state mandated stickers. The law also states that peeling, ripped, bubbled, or old and worn out window film that obstructs the driver\u2019s view is illegal and must be replaced or removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-don-t-get-a-ticket-for-front-side-window-tint\">Don\u2019t Get a Ticket for Front Side Window Tint<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To avoid getting issued a\u00a0front window tint ticket in California, car owners in the state who have the front windows tinted more after they bought the automobile must ensure that the aftermarket window film complies with the window tint percentage rules California law sets. The state requires aftermarket window tint film applied to front side windows allow in over 88% of light. If any aftermarket tint is combined with factory-tinted window glass, overall the windows must have a minimum VLT rating of 70%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-penalties-for-non-compliance-with-window-tint-laws-in-california\">Penalties for Non-Compliance with Window Tint Laws in California<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A car, truck, or SUV can be pulled over by an officer merely because the officer suspects the tint may be to dark \u2013 it is not a secondary offense, in other words, but can be primary. If a motorist is stopped for failing to comply with California window tint law, a police officer has the discretion to take a number of different actions. Many officers often issue a \u201cfix-it-ticket\u201d to first time window tint offenders. This is nothing more than a warning that tells the driver that the vehicle is not in compliance with CA tint law and mandates the motorist to have the problem addressed rapidly. Proof the tint was removed may need to offered to avoid a fine or other punishment. A second window tint violation can result in a small $25 fine and more stringent orders to remove the illegal window tint. The third time a driver is stopped for violating the state\u2019s window tint law, they can be hit with a civil infraction and fined $197, with subsequent stops seeing higher fines and moving into criminal territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The percent of visible light allowed through your car windows is called VLT: Visible Light Transmission. The percentage of light allowed through your film and glass in California is very specific and different for passenger car such as a sedan vs a multi-purpose passenger and recreational vehicle. The lower the % of the tint, the darker your window will be as the VLT is referring to the amount of light being let in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Darkest legal tint for Sedans in California Windshield: Non-reflective tint is allowed on the top 4 inches of the windshield Front Side windows: Aftermarket film must allow more than 88% of light in, or minimum 70% VLT if combined with &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/tintwiz.com\/window-tint-laws\/california\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5897,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.5 (Yoast SEO v22.5) -
