Quick Answer: How to Pass Inspection with Tinted Windows?

Will my car pass inspection with tinted windows in NY?

While testing during the vehicle inspection is new, the tinting standards are not. Since 1992, New York State law has required that all windshield and front side windows allow at least 70 percent of outside light to pass through. It’s only after-market or additional tinting added to a window that may cause a problem.
