Check out the link

http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/vi/Misc...htm#state_laws

It's 25% front/passenger sides, limo back and rear windshield. I wouldn't recommend doing limo all around like I did, unless u want a $300 ticket...

Tint isn't allowed on the front except for the first 5 inches from the top, and it is limited to 25%... because you have to be able to see out of the front. Otherwise, 25% max sides, and limo anywhere else (but front) is the legal limit in Texas.

I had limo all around my car (except front of course) and got the ticket. It's off now and I'm all 25%.

anyone know where i can get my tail lights tinted in this area? or does it have to be smoked?
i bought the film and wasn't able to do it because of the curves on the lights leaving the film full of creases.

Front amber side reflectors and rear red side reflectors can not be smoked out or covered, they have to reflect light. As far as headlamps, only clear halogen or xenon bulbs. I'm not sure if smoked film is legal or not. No red or blue. Green. I think you can do green. BTW Hi everybody, I'm that guy.

Resonator deletes WILL pass inspection. All you need are cats. Remember its an emissions inspection and resonators are just a type of muffler. Thanks for the welcome.
