Window Tint Darkness Limits in Oklahoma
Oklahoma window tint laws establish slightly different limits on tint darkness for cars and larger vehicles. These are the limits for sedans:
- Windshield: Non-reflective tint allowed on top five inches or up to AS-1 line
- Front Side Windows: Must be at least 25% VLT
- Back Side Windows: Must be at least 25% VLT
- Rear Windows: Must be at least 25% VLT
These are limits for vans and SUVs:
- Windshield: Non-reflective tint allowed on top five inches or up to AS-1 line
- Front Side Windows: Must be at least 25% VLT

VLT stands for “visible light transmission,” and it indicates what percentage of light can go through the tint film. Higher values indicate darker tints.

Penalties for Illegal Tint in Oklahoma
A violation of Oklahoma window tint laws is a misdemeanor, and a violation will usually result in a fine ranging from $20 to $100 or even more. However, for a first offense, you’ll likely receive a “fix-it ticket.” This means that if you install legal tint and prove you’ve done so, the charges and fine will be dropped.
