I see you got the answer to your question, and you’ll probably be dealing with a “fix-it” ticket. However, if you can get a doctor’s note as to why you need tint, they can’t make you take it off in the future.

All of my vehicles are tinted. Privacy and heat resistance (if you use a proper film, not the cheap stuff) is pretty nice for summer. However, I’m legally allowed to have tint thanks to less than stellar eyesight. Helps block out the sun and drivers who installed ridiculously bright headlights. It makes driving much easier. The DMV/ DOT is aware, too.

This is just food for thought if you think your situation would warrant tint. If you just want it for personal reasons, be prepared to get annoyed by LE.

This is bad information. Medical tint is permitted with a doctors note, but it’s only colorless tint. Not the typical tint you see on most cars.

It’s not bad information. I said it was possible to get a medical exemption to use tint. I didn’t say what kind of tint. Anyone can read the form and rules.

This honestly might sound like a route to go, hopefully it’s not to difficult. Let’s say you were pulled over for it, would you just present the doctors note? Not sure how it works lol

MV-402 is the form number. It gives you a medical exemption. Your doctor fills out the bottom portion and signs — usually it’s related to eyes so you’d be seeing an optometrist or something similar.

I’ll look into it! I have really bad nearsightedness so maybe that might help my case idk

Thanks for this form number. My sister has a sun allergy and even with UV sleeves and gloves she can burn in a car. She got a strong tint and has a note from her doctor in her glove box but maybe this form would be safer.
