When tinting your vehicle in Louisiana, it’s important to stay aware of the state’s updated window tint regulations. As of August 1, 2025, Louisiana law (Act 143) states the front side windows must allow at least 25% of visible light transmission (VLT). The same 25% VLT requirement applies to rear side windows, while the rear window may be tinted to 12% VLT or darker. Windshields are permitted to have a non-reflective tint strip above the manufacturer’s AS-1 line only.

Reflectivity rules still apply, meaning window tint must remain non-reflective and free of mirrored or metallic finishes that could create excessive glare or reduce visibility for other drivers. Vehicles with tinted rear glass are required to have dual side mirrors for safe operation. Louisiana also allows medical exemptions for darker tint levels when supported by proper documentation from a licensed physician.

At MW Auto Pros, we ensure every window tint installation meets Louisiana’s legal requirements while still delivering excellent heat rejection, comfort, and appearance. If you have questions about choosing the right ceramic tint within legal limits, our team is happy to help you make the best decision for your vehicle.

We install high-quality ceramic window tint designed for long-term performance. In addition to providing excellent heat rejection and UV protection, our ceramic tint is backed by a lifetime warranty, ensuring it maintains its appearance and effectiveness for years to come.

Nope! When properly selected and installed, window tint does not reduce visibility. The ceramic window tint we use is engineered to cut glare and block harmful UV rays without significantly affecting clarity. While darker shades filter more light, we help you choose a tint level that maintains excellent visibility and stays fully compliant with Louisiana tint laws, ensuring safe and comfortable driving day or night.
