Most factory-tinted windows are designed to provide a slight tint for privacy and sun protection while still allowing ample visibility. The darkness of factory tint varies depending on the manufacturer, model, and specific regulations in different regions.

Factory-tinted windows have a Visible Light Transmission (VLT) percentage ranging from 70% to 90%. This means that they allow 70% to 90% of visible light to pass through the glass. The tinting is often subtle and barely noticeable, giving the windows a slightly darker appearance compared to untinted glass.

It’s important to note that factory-tinted windows primarily offer UV protection and a modest level of privacy rather than significant heat reduction or glare reduction, which may be achieved with aftermarket window tinting.

If you’re unsure about the darkness of your vehicle’s factory tint, you can check the specifications provided by the manufacturer or consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual. Local regulations may dictate the allowable darkness of factory tint for vehicles sold in specific regions.
