Thread: Illinois Window Tint Law

You aren't allowed ANY tint? or is it just a very low requirement like 35% or something?

Q: I have a question about tinted windows. I have a problem with my eyes called photo phobic and need to have the front side window of my vehicle tinted. Is there a way to do that? I cannot find anyone who will tint the window. I checked Illinois vehicle code # 5/12 503(a) and was unable to find any kind of a solution. Where can I go to get help for a problem like mine? Will a doctor's excuse do? I really need your help in finding an answer to my problem.

A: The short answer to your question is no, you may not have the windows of your vehicle tinted even if you have a doctor's excuse.

THAT SUCKS!!!!

My Elantra has 5% tint and goes about 3-4 inches below the AS-1 line.

Front Side Windows Must allow more than 28% of light in.
Back Side Windows Must allow more than 15% of light in.

My Elantra has 10% on every side window.

Rear Window Must allow more than 15% of light in.

My rear window is 5%...

HAHA :cursing: the tint laws!

actually, there is a way to get around it. I talked to a cop the other day and he says that you need a special plate that will allow you to have your front windows tinted for medical reasons. i dont actually know how you would go about getting one but im sure if you had the proper paperwork from an optometrist im sure that you would just have to call Secratary of State's office, Jesse White should take care of it.

I just got a ticket for tinted windows this weekend.
