California Laws and Tint Percentages San Bernardino, CA

Picture
California is a unique state for tint percentage laws.
 
A set of state-based rules work with each local jurisdiction to create a patchwork of different expectations about tint percentage information. These laws typically apply to cars, but they can include all passenger vehicles.
 
You’ll usually find fewer tint darkness restrictions in the southern communities of California. Since the visibility needs are often necessary up in the northern mountains, they could enforce more rules.
 
It is up to you to ensure you follow the local guidelines for where you drive. Having something legal in San Bernardino won’t give you a free pass if you’re violating the rules somewhere else in California.
 
What Are California’s Laws About Window Tint Information? 
If you want to upgrade your passenger car with window tints or films, here are the regulations that currently apply.
 
  • The windshield cannot have a reflective tint on the first four inches.
  • Front side windows are allowed up to 70% tint darkness when the measurement is combined with factory tinting.
  • Aftermarket films must allow at least 88% of the available light when it’s the only tinting on the vehicle.
  • The back side and rear windows can have any tint darkness rating, although the most popular choices are from VLT 5 to VLT 70.
 
California doesn’t allow for extra reflection with installed window tints and films. Medical exemptions to these guidelines are available to those who qualify.
