How is tint darkness measured and what is legal

 

Tint is measured by how much light shines through it if that makes sense the lower the percentage the tint is the less light shines through....ex:5% is dark tint 35% more light shines through and it's not so dark....cops around here (Kansas) carry a meter that they hold up to the glass and it tells them how much light shines trough in a percentage they're actually pretty cool....As far as legal its different everywhere check with a local cop thats all I can say or google your cities sheriffs dep. only ppl around here that enforce it are highway patrolmen and they say take it off give you a court date and you show up with a pic of the car with no tint and they say goodbye.......hope that helps

Not only do you need to know what % tint, you need to know wether or not you can tint your front door windows and your windshield strip

 

Looks like here in Arkansas it is 25% on front and rear side Windows and 10% on back glass thanks for the help
