What Arizona law says

Front side windows need about 33% light transmission, plus or minus 3%. Details below are from the cited statute, not a shop chart.

Front side windows: Material used with the glazing must have 33% light transmission, plus or minus 3%, and luminous reflectance of 35%, plus or minus 3%.
Rear side and rear windows: The rear window is excepted when the vehicle has left- and right-hand outside mirrors that show the highway for at least 200 feet behind the vehicle. Rear-of-driver side windows are addressed through reflectance, not a minimum transmission percentage.
