LTA tint rules 2026
Is your car tint legal?
The 3 LTA rules in plain English, the catch most drivers miss, and how to get a tint that is cool and road legal. Full car from S$488.
The rules
3 rules, one picture
Orange glass needs 70%: the windscreen and both front side windows. That keeps your view clear at night and lets others see the driver.
Grey glass can go to 25%: the rear side windows and the rear windscreen. That is where your privacy comes from.
The film must also be non-reflective, and must not interfere with ERP.
70%
Front windows
Windscreen and the two front side windows.
25%
Rear windows
Rear side windows and rear windscreen can go darker.
No
Mirror tints
Reflective film is not allowed at any shade.
The catch
Glass and film count together
Your glass already blocks some light before any film goes on. The reading counts both together, so a film that sounds light can still fail. Try it:
Get it wrong
And it costs you

- Pay twiceto strip the tint and fit a legal one
- Risk a fineillegal vehicle modifications can draw fines of up to S$20,000 (LTA)
Failed inspection? We will make it legal.
We remove the old tint cleanly and fit a legal film that still keeps your cabin cool, so you can go back for your re-test.

Common questions
No. The front side windows need at least 70%, and that reading counts your glass and the film together. 35% is only allowed on the rear side windows and the rear windscreen.
Yes, with a very light heat-rejecting film, as long as the glass and film together still let at least 70% of visible light through.
The rear side windows and the rear windscreen can go down to 25%. That is where most of your privacy comes from.
No. Tint film must be non-reflective, whatever its shade.
LTA sets limits for light and reflectivity rather than listing brands. What counts is the reading on your car, through your glass.
You will need to remove or replace the film and go back for a re-test. We can remove the old film cleanly and fit a legal one that still keeps your cabin cool.
