Finally some sanity prevails in window tint requirements. In WA you are now (as of April 13th 2013) able to tint glass behind the driver (or the B pillar) to 20% visual light transmission. The front windows are still only 35% VLT. The laws are to bring tint levels in line with privacy glass standards. I would suggest 20% is a completely acceptable level as 16% is too dark for easy night time driving. Mind you NT is allowing 16% on rears.

Please see Window Film Association Bulletin and here West Australian Specific Laws.

Also note that special exemption may be given on a case by case basis for vehicles fitted with privacy glass to apply lower than 20% film on rear windows to MATCH any existing privacy glass on rear windows.

Brought to you so that you can be informed when getting a yellow from an ill informed police officer. However, all drivers windows MUST BE 35% VLT.

All I can say is about bloody time and I was ahead of my time.

Could a mod sticky this please.

Might be an idea to sticky this thread for any future users who run into problems with tint.

Thanks for the post Andrew.

I have just bought a 2011 5 door rex off a car dealer which had tinted tail lights which the kind police pulled me over and told me about- not the car dealer. Fortunately he let me go with no paperwork to get it fixed but I will be taking it back

Cool story. Got any others?

Are front driver windows allowed tinting or is it still a no-go?

If you read the first post then you would see that darkest legal tint is 35% for front / drivers windows and all windows past the B pilar can be 20%

This document will give you any more info you need.

^^ If you're talking about tinting the windscreen, yes it would still be illegal. You'll get a yellow every time.
