Every state writes its own limit, and the ticket lands on the driver, not the shop. Pick yours to see exactly how dark each window is allowed to go — shown through the shade itself, not just written down.
Your state
What Indiana allows.
Every window has its own limit, and what you drive changes them. Indiana lets a multi-purpose vehicle go darker than a sedan on 2 of its windows, so pick the one that matches your car.
Front doors: 30% VLTDifferent for SUVs and trucks
Four-season Midwest climate with hot, humid summers reaching the low 90s°F and cold winters.

The bar is the light that has to get through. A full bar is a strict window; an empty one means Indiana sets no darkness limit there at all.
Front side windows
30%
The glass either side of the driver. Always the tightest limit.
Rear side windows
30%
Behind the front doors, where most states relax.
Rear back window
30%
The back glass, usually tied to having both side mirrors.
Every figure here is what a meter has to read through the film and the glass together, so we meter your factory glass first and work back to the film that lands on the right side of the number — before anything is cut.
A guide, not legal advice. States amend these limits, and medical exemptions, reflectivity caps and color restrictions vary. Check with your state DMV or DPS before you commit to a shade.
What tint percentages mean
Every tint limit is the same measurement
VLT — visible light transmission — is the one number every state writes its law in. It’s worth ten seconds of your time, because it’s the difference between a car that passes inspection and one that doesn’t.

The limit counts the film and the glass together
Your windows are already tinted from the factory — usually somewhere near 78%. A 35% film on that glass measures closer to 27%, which is how a legal-sounding shade fails a roadside check.
A lower number means a darker window
VLT is the share of visible light that gets through. 5% is limo dark and 70% is barely there, so the tighter a state writes its law, the higher the number it quotes.
Medical exemptions need paperwork
Most states allow a darker front shade with a signed medical exemption for light-sensitive conditions. It has to be kept in the vehicle, and the rules for it are state-specific.

“They did a phenomenal job on my truck! No more fishbowl!! Fit my truck into his schedule and made it happen pretty quick! (Doors & shield) *Update* Next day, the window tint has done its job and shrunk with the heat! All smooth! No dirt specks, no bubbles, or scratches! Will use for all of my window tinting needs from now on!”
“Had a great experience and highly recommend..They did my 2 front doors to match my rear doors and the whole windshield.. To scheduling to late evening pick up, online payment and the finished product they make everything effortless.. I will be using them again for sure! Thanks fellas..”
“Another great job by Sunny Days! Quick custom length windshield brow done on my F250. Fit me in on the holiday weekend on a tight schedule, cant be more thankful!”
“It was great working with Bryan of Sunny Days! He was prompt with all of his communications. Came out to our home, he asked just the right questions to determine our window tinting needs, promptly provided us with a proposal (quote) that we felt was reasonable, scheduled our date to have the windows done. He arrived for the installation appointment and as he was doing the front window he came and got us so he could show us the difference in a window he tinted and the other side he hadn’t done yet and it was trippy how we could feel the difference. After the installation he went over the window care. We have been happy about our decision to tint our windows and to go with Bryan of Sunny Days! Highly recommended!!”
“Edit: I came back and had my front 2 windows tinted, and they came out great! This is definitely a place that has lots of return customers. Bryan at Sunny Days is awesome! Super knowledgeable. He answered all of my questions, and helped me make a decision on what I ultimately wanted for my windshield tint brow. He has a waiting room and was very fast doing the install! I would reccomend people to get their car tinted here. I sure will get future work done here.”
