Without an exemption your front side windows have to let in more than 28% of visible light. Back side and rear windows need at least 15% on a sedan and at least 6% on an SUV or van. The windshield can only carry non-reflective tint above the AS-1 line. A medical exemption certified on Form HSMV 83390 is what lets you go darker.
20% is darker. VLT measures how much light gets through the glass so a lower number means less light. 20% blocks noticeably more than 35%.
Not on your front side windows without an exemption because Florida wants more than 28% VLT there. On the back side and rear windows of a sedan 20% sits inside the 15% floor. The medical exemption is what makes darker front tint legal.
Yes. Officers can stop a vehicle when the tint looks like it breaks the VLT limits. If you have an exemption keep the certificate in the car and hand it over during the stop.
