Default Very strict... I got a warning for 35s in the ds/ps in Jan...

I was up at Mansfield State Park up near UConn. I pulled in, parked my car, and starting walking away. Then, out of no where (he was in an expedition so I didn't really notice him), I had some state cop ask me if I had a tint sticker. I told him I thought 35% was legal, but he said you cannot have any tint at all in the front unless you have a tint sticker stating that you have an eye or skin condition. He even wrote down the statute on the warning... I'll have to dig it up at some point. Pretty weak if you ask me.

Default if you know an optometrist there is an easy solution....

thats IF you know one thats willing to write you a note (which states you are photophobic) that you bring to the DMV and they allow dark tint.

You should be happy to just be able to have tint! Here in NJ I got pulled over weekly with tint on.

Default I thought 35% total (factoring in factory tint) is legal in CT...

If you want to stay legal in CT, you can't put 35% on your ps/ds windows because the windows come from the factory with a slight tint. The combination becomes illegal.

On my Avant I have 55% in front and 35% the rest of the way around. I haven't had my tints too long, but I've never had a problem.

Default I thought it was too, I was shocked when the cop said you couldn't have any tint at all

Guess I'll have to tell my doctor to write me a note for a tint sticker
