blue98ls1 Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 I'm looking for a place to check out the % of tint on my car's windows. I was pulled over today and the cop said he was pretty sure my windows where too dark, but didn't have a way to check them in his cruiser and suggested I have it checked or removed. I got the car with the windows already tinted, it doesn't look that dark to me, but i'd like to have it checked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 ask another cop most of them have a little tint-o-meter that measures the amount of light transmission a safe bet is if they can't see you through the window its too dark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistedrx7 Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 ask another cop most of them have a little tint-o-meter that measures the amount of light transmission a safe bet is if they can't see you through the window its too dark 50% on driverside and passenger side, whatever you want on the rest. Have it measured within that perimeter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99FLHRCI Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 There is also a section in the Ohio code that prohibits the sale of a vehicle with illegal tint by a dealer. I don't know if you can prove it was on there when you got it but it may help if you ever get a ticket. http://codes.ohio.gov/oac/4501-41 © No used motor vehicle dealer or new motor vehicle dealer, as defined in section 4517.01 of the Revised Code, shall sell any motor vehicle that fails to conform to the specifications of this chapter.
