Automotive tinting specifics
Front Window Tint
Front window tint refers to the film applied to the front side windows (driver and front passenger); the LTA enforces the same 25% VLT minimum as other side windows.
Some jurisdictions impose a stricter VLT minimum on front side windows than rear. The LTA in Singapore applies the same 25% rule across all side windows — but practically speaking we recommend installing front-side film at a higher VLT (around 35%) to maintain driver night-time visibility, especially when reversing into dimly-lit HDB lots.
A driver also relies on the front side window for situational awareness at junctions and when checking blind spots. Going too dark on the front sides reduces that capability.
Most premium fitments aim for 30–40% VLT on the front sides regardless of rear.
