all of the cars must be capable of being used on the roads safely. For example, in the case of window tinting, the windows of a motor vehicle must allow for a minimum of 70 per cent visibility.

Took from a post about police actions at a cruise...

70 per cent on front sides, 75 on the windscreen

whatever you want for the rest

your windows will already be tinted from factory either 19 or 22 %
so you can either get a 10% tint or none. cant be less than 70% on the front. front windscreen can be hard to say police will say different all the time i got told 6" with a fad in after but weather thats right or not is another thing

Why do people say use the search function!!!! if we use the search function take the damn forum away and use google!!!

I've never heard of anyone testing tints?

70% light has to be allowed through on the front side windows. Rear three can be sprayed black if you really want.

Most cars come with a factory tint on the front of about 10-15% so if you want to get them tinted to the full legal allowed amount maybe get them tested somehow then decide on what tint to get.
