thats what i thought rich.

carl i think 50% is the lightest you can have, with 5% being limo dark?

Nope the front side window has to let in 70% of the light.

See here

Or in short.

The law requires that the windows on the vehicle allow at least:

• 75 per cent of light through the front windscreen
• 70 per cent of light through the front side windows

In most modern vehicles there is a slight tint added to the windows when they are made. If you add any more tint it’s likely to result in the windows failing to meet the legal requirements.

The rules on tinted windows don’t apply to the rear windscreen or the rear passenger windows.
