In California you can have your rear windows tinted as dark as you like, so long as you can still see out of them.

You cannot have your front side windows, or your windshield tinted, at any level what so ever.

There have been rumors that if you have some kind of skin disease and get a doctors note, you can then get the tint added to the front -- but even then you can be cited for it, you'll just have to take it up with the judge/ref and have it cleared.

I heard that there is no tint limit nation wide cause people from other states were getting tickets cause each state has a different limit. Now they have to make a national limit. If you get migraines you can get your front tinted

You heard completely, and entirely, wrong.

"I just talked to a company who does tinting about it."

Tinting companies out here in California tell people that 30% or 50% or whatever on the fronts is legal as well.

The bottom line is, it isn't.

But you may be correct, perhaps the East Coast has a adopted a "lets toss states' rights out the window" law for the purpose of window tint.

Somehow, I doubt it.

Now, some states don't mind tint on front windows, I know that for a fact; And it may mean that some states on the east coast allow a certain %, or any, or none.

But I highly doubt they have a "since we all have different laws lets just not enforce it" rule.

There are plenty of laws that vary from state to state, and they don't toss those out the window, so I'd be very suprised if they made a special case for window tint.

LOL
