The Great Tint Showdown: Light vs. Darkness
The key thing to remember is Visible Light Transmission (VLT). This fancy term basically means how much light can wiggle its way through your tinted windows. In Oklahoma, for all your side windows (including the rear passenger windows) and the rear windshield, the tint needs to allow at least 25% of light transmission. That means the other drivers on the road (and those pesky police officers) can still get a good look at you and your amazing driving skills (or lack thereof, we're not judging).
Side Note: For the windshield, you can only tint the top part, above the AS1 line (which is basically a manufacturer's marking). This little sliver of darkness is there to keep the sun out of your eyes, not turn your car into a mystery machine.
Reflective? Not So Much, Oklahoma Says "Nyet"
Now, let's talk about that shiny, mirrored tint that makes your car look like it belongs in a disco ball factory. While it might be tempting to blind everyone with your awesomeness, Oklahoma puts the kibosh on that. The tint can't be more than 25% reflective either. So, channel your inner James Bond, not a disco ball.
QuickTip: Look for lists — they simplify complex points.
