How dark can window tint be in Wyoming?
Darkness is measured as visible light transmission (VLT): the percentage of light that gets through. A lower number means darker tint.
| Window | Cars | SUVs and vans |
|---|---|---|
| Windshield | Non-reflective tint is allowed above the manufacturer's AS-1 line or on the top 5 inches of the windshield. | |
| Front side windows | Must let in more than 28% of light. | |
| Back side windows | Must let in more than 28% of light. | Any darkness is allowed. |
| Rear window | Must let in more than 28% of light. | Any darkness is allowed. |

Other Wyoming tint rules

- Red, yellow and amber are not allowed on the tint strip at the top of the windshield. The law names no colors for the other windows.
- Side mirrors
- Dual side mirrors are required if the back window is tinted.
- Film certification
- Film manufacturers don't need to certify the film they sell in the state.
- Sticker
- No sticker identifying legal tint is required.
- Medical exemption
- Get a certificate from the WYDOT Director with a signed statement from a licensed physician or optometrist. It allows 25% on the windows and 70% on the windshield below the top 5 inches, and lasts as long as the condition does or until the vehicle is sold (W.S. 31-5-962(m)).
