Is 35% Window Tint Legal in Wyoming After the 2026 Framework Overhaul?

No, 35% window tint is illegal in Wyoming for passenger vehicles. State statute mandates a minimum 28% light transmittance (VLT) for front side windows, while rear windows may use darker tints if equipped with dual side mirrors. Violations risk citations from the Wyoming Highway Patrol, effective under Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 31-5-901.

Key Regulations for 35% Window Tint in Wyoming

  • Front side windows must allow at least 28% light transmittance; 35% fails this threshold.
  • Rear side and rear windows may use darker tints (including 35%) but require dual side mirrors for compliance.
  • Reflectivity is capped at 20% for all windows, regardless of VLT percentage.

Wyoming’s rules align with federal safety standards, enforced by local law enforcement and the Wyoming Department of Transportation. While some states permit darker tints, Wyoming’s 28% minimum for front windows remains non-negotiable. Recent 2026 legislative proposals to relax rear-window restrictions have stalled, preserving current enforcement practices. Always verify tint compliance via certified measurement tools, as officer discretion varies.
