Arkansas window tint checker
VLT (visible light transmission) is the share of light the film lets through; a lower number is darker. It is printed on the film packaging or your installation receipt. Leave it blank to just read the limits.
Enter your film's VLT above to check it against each Arkansas window limit, or read the limits as they stand.
The 25% floor on side windows behind the driver drops to 10% on any truck, bus, trailer, motor home, or multipurpose passenger vehicle. The rearmost window may go to 10% on any vehicle (§27-37-306).
Film is sold by its own VLT, but police measure the installed darkness: the film combined with your factory glass, which reads darker than the film alone. These are the Arkansas figures stated as information, not a determination about any stop or ticket.
Informational only, not legal advice. Reflectivity limits, color bans, and vehicle-class exceptions can change the answer for a specific car. See the full rules, the exemption steps, and the citations on the Arkansas window tint reference, cited to Ark. Code §27-37-301 et seq. (esp. §27-37-306).
How the Arkansas tint rules work
Arkansas lets front side windows go to 25%, which is darker than most neighboring states allow up front. Behind the driver the rules split by vehicle: cars keep the 25% floor on the back side windows, while trucks, vans, and other multipurpose vehicles may drop those to 10%, and the rearmost window can hit 10% on anything. The windshield gets only a 5-inch eyebrow strip along the top.
This checker applies the Arkansas figures to the VLT you enter. It is informational only and not legal advice: reflectivity limits, color bans, and vehicle-class exceptions can change the answer for a specific car. For the full rules, the shades table, and the citations, see the Arkansas window tint reference, cited to Ark. Code §27-37-301 et seq. (esp. §27-37-306).
