Terms And Conditions

California window tint laws in 2025 generally allow non-reflective tint on the top 4 inches of the windshield, require front side windows to allow at least 70% of light transmission, and permit any darkness for back side and rear windows, provided side mirrors are equipped if the rear window is tinted. Reflective tints are prohibited. 

​

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

​

• Back Side Windows: Any darkness of tint is allowed for the back side windows. 

• Rear Window: Any darkness of tint is allowed for the rear window, but if tinted, dual side mirrors are required. 

• Reflectivity: Reflective or mirrored tints are prohibited. 

• Medical Exemptions: While exemptions for medical conditions may exist, they often still require colorless, non-reflective tint and may have restrictions on use (e.g., not at night). 

• Out-of-State Vehicles: Generally, out-of-state vehicles are not subject to California tint laws if they comply with their home state's regulations, but local law enforcement may still conduct checks. 

• Enforcement: Law enforcement can stop vehicles and test window tint darkness if they suspect a violation. 

• Windshield: Non-reflective tint is allowed on the top 4 inches of the windshield. 

• Front Side Windows: These windows (driver and passenger side) must allow at least 70% of the light to pass through, meaning the tint can block no more than 30% of the light.
