How Dark Can You Tint Your Windows in Ohio?
In Ohio, front side windows must let in at least 50% of light, the windshield at least 70%, and rear side windows and back glass can be any darkness as long as you have dual side mirrors. Mirrored, red and yellow film are not allowed.
The short version
Ohio sets limits by window. The front side windows are the strict ones: 50% or lighter. The rear can go as dark as you like.
Window by window
| Window | Ohio minimum |
