What is the legal amount of tint on windows?

In Massachusetts, the legal regulations regarding window tinting specify that the front side windows must allow more than 35% of light in, which corresponds to a tint of 35% or less. This means that the darker the tint, the less light is allowed to pass through. Therefore, a 35% tint ensures that an adequate amount of light reaches the interior of the vehicle, promoting safety and visibility for both the driver and law enforcement.

The laws are designed to balance privacy with safety; excessively dark tints can hinder visibility, particularly at night or in adverse weather conditions. Options indicating no tint at all or those allowing higher percentages like 50% or lower do not align with the legal requirements set forth in the state.
