Hello all,

I am going to Temecula (just north of San Diego) for a vacation trip and was hoping that I can get some advice on a technical issue. I live in Nevada and bought a car with tinted windows (go figure, it is perfectly legal here). I don't know the exact VLT, but they don't really look THAT dark. I heard that in California you can get pulled over if your driver and passenger windows are tinted. The questions that I had were:
*Are the cops really that bad? Should I untint my windows before I go?
*Also, if I get pulled over, is it still a "fix-it" ticket? I heard that some people were getting actual fines and
*What impact would a tint ticket have on my car insurance?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Is the Vehicle registered in Nevada and are you only going to be in California for a short period?

"Fix-It" type citations are generally only enforceable to vehicles registered in California. I don't know about CHP, but some local agencies have policies against correctable violations being given to out of state vehicles, except registration violations. If Nevada allows the tint then you should be good. If you plan on registering the car in California, the tint will need to be removed or you run the risk of being pulled over. CHP enforces this at a high level.

I got a warning, so I removed it, but I had it for a few years since the car was from out of state.
