33%
In Arizona, it is required that the front side windows permit more than 33% of light to pass through. Therefore, the standard tint for these windows, which are the ones the driver and passenger use to see while driving, is set at 35%. This ensures that you remain compliant with the law.
In the state of Arizona, the darkness of the tint is closely monitored and controlled. The darkness is determined by the Visible Light Transmission percentage (VLT%) – which measures the amount of light that can pass through the window glass and film. Specifically, for front side windows, the VLT% must be 33%.
The Window Tinting Law in Arizona requires that the tint on your rear and back side windows be no more than 35% reflective.
Note, if your tinted windows in the rear hinder your visibility or cause distractions while driving, you may still be subject to being pulled over by a police officer.
At Phoenix Window Tinting, we adhere to Arizona regulations regarding window tint darkness. In Arizona, the maximum allowed tint darkness is 35% on all windows, excluding the front windshield.
