- In Idaho, if your vehicle was tinted dark BEFORE the law went into
- effect, you could get a waiver that allows you to keep it. This
- waiver can also be sold with the car so the new owner can have the
- dark tint, too (dark and Limo are both too dark for the current law).
- If you are stopped, you just have to produce the waiver (signed by
- the Idaho State Patrol).
-
- Restrictions:
-
- 1) If you ever have to have the glass replaced, you can only
- replace it with medium and lighter tint
- 2) If you can not produce a waiver when stopped, you will be
- fined
- 3) If you drive outside Idaho with your dark tint, the Idaho
- waiver will not protect you from tickets in surrounding
- states
- 4) Factory tint darker than the limit are waived automatically
