You may be interested in purchasing car window tints for greater privacy in your vehicle or enhanced protection from the sun. Since window tints that are too dark can impair visibility and be a safety hazard on the road, each state regulates the legal darkness level for window tints on registered vehicles.

What is the visible light transmission percentage?
In terms of window tinting, the
visible light transmission percentage (VLT)
is the amount of sunlight that is able to filter through the film applied to a car window. A higher VLT means that there is a large amount of light that can pass through the window and into the vehicle.
For example, a 65% window tint allows 65% of incoming sunlight to pass through the film and into the car. A 5% window tint, on the other hand, only lets 5% of available sunlight into the car.
Each state has laws regulating the allowable VLT on a legal window tint.
