Orange, CA Window Tint Laws: Stay Legal & Stylish

Looking cool is great—staying legal is essential. California enforces strict Visible Light Transmission (VLT) requirements, and violations mean costly fix-it tickets. Here's what you need to know:


Front Side Windows (driver + passenger): Must allow at least 70% VLT. You can tint them, but not so dark that less than 70% of visible light passes through.


Windshield: Non-reflective tint allowed only on the top 4 inches. Tinting below that line is prohibited.


Rear Side Windows & Rear Windshield: Much more flexibility—darker tints are typically permitted under state law.


Reflectivity Rules: Tint cannot be overly reflective or mirror-like, as this creates dangerous glare for other drivers.



The Risk: Violating these laws leads to fines, mandatory tint removal, and the hassle of corrections. Choose a trusted professional who knows local regulations inside and out.

Dyed Window Tinting - FAQs and Answers

  • How long should I wait to roll my windows down after having them tinted?

    After the window tinting process, it is important to give the film ample time to cure and bond to your vehicle’s various glass surfaces. We recommend waiting a few days before rolling your windows down. This ensures that the window tint film sets properly and does not accidentally peel up at the corners. During this time, we also encourage you to avoid any actions that might cause the film to peel or shift, such as cleaning. Early disturbance can compromise the window tint’s effectiveness long-term.

  • Does my vehicle qualify for a window tinting package?

    There is no standard vehicle requirement for window tinting. All vehicles driven in Southern California of any age, make, or model can have window tinting installed on their glass surfaces. Of course, certain factors like the condition of your windows and local regulations should be considered when buying a window tint film package. MTS Customs can apply any of our dyed window tint film packages to a wide range of vehicles. This includes sedans, SUVs, trucks, and specialty vehicles. Be sure to connect with our tinting team at MTS Customs if you have any questions about our coverage options.

  • What is the best way to wash my tinted windows after installation?

    Cleaning tinted windows following installation requires a bit of care. This is to maintain the film’s clarity and durability overall. What we at MTS Customs recommend is to use a gentle, safe detailing solution in conjunction with a microfiber cloth to prevent surface scratches and swirl marks. Be sure to completely avoid using any abrasive sponges or scrubbing tools. As you can imagine, this can cause damage to the surface of your window tint film. You can also book a detailing service to have your windows expertly cleaned.
