Wyoming Window Tint Laws

Wind-driven grit and unfiltered high-plains sun are the enemies in Wyoming. 28% on every window is the rule, and paired PPF on the nose is common sense on I-80.

What VLT means (and how police check it)

VLT — Visible Light Transmission — is the percentage of outside light that makes it through your glass. The number printed in the law is a floor: film may be that bright or brighter. Because factory glass already blocks a little light, an officer's meter reads the combineddarkness of glass plus film. A film sold as "28%" on top of factory glass can meter a few points darker — which is why professional installers measure the final result, not the box label.

Quality matters as much as darkness. Dyed films fade purple and bubble; ceramic films like ULTRASHIELD SHADOW reject heat and up to 99% of UV at any legal darkness, with no signal interference — so you get the comfort without gambling on the number.

Wyoming tint FAQ

What is the darkest legal tint in Wyoming?+
On front side windows, film must let at least 28% of light through (28% VLT). Back side windows may go to 28% VLT.
Can I tint my windshield in Wyoming?+
Non-reflective tint on the top 5 inches or above the AS-1 line.
Does Wyoming allow medical exemptions for darker tint?+
Yes. Wyoming allows darker-than-standard tint with qualifying medical documentation. Keep the paperwork in the vehicle — officers can ask for it during a stop.
Is ceramic tint legal in Wyoming?+
Yes — the law regulates darkness (VLT) and reflectivity, not film technology. A ceramic film at a legal VLT is fully compliant, and it rejects far more heat than dyed film at the same darkness, which is why installers recommend it.
Are mirrored or reflective films legal in Wyoming?+
Wyoming restricts reflectivity: No more than 20% reflective.
