How to read VLT rules
- VLT
- Visible Light Transmission. Higher number = more light through = lighter tint. A 35% film lets 35% of visible light pass.
- AS-1 line
- The dotted line near the top of most windshields. States that allow tint "above the AS-1 line" mean only above that mark.
- Reflectivity
- How mirror-like the tint is. Most states cap this at 20–35%.
- Medical exemption
- Allows darker-than-legal tint with a doctor's note. Process and documentation vary by state.
