What are the laws about tinting the side mirrors?

In South Carolina, tinting the side mirrors of a vehicle is allowed, however the tint cannot exceed a certain darkness. According to South Carolina law, the tint of side mirrors on a vehicle cannot exceed a light transmittance level of 25%. This means that only 25% of the light that hits the side mirrors can be allowed to pass through the tint. Any driver in South Carolina who has tinted side mirrors with a light transmittance level of more than 25% is in violation of this law. This violation can result in a vehicle inspection and/or a fine. In addition to setting a restriction on the amount of tint allowed on side mirrors, South Carolina law also requires that any tinting material used must be externally applied to the outside of the window glass. The tint cannot be a part of the window glass and must be removable. It is important for drivers to make sure that their side mirror tint is within the legal limits, as exceeding them could not only result in a vehicle inspection and/or fine, but could also lead to more severe penalties if it is a repeat offense. It is also important to be aware of any other laws governing side mirror tinting in your area, as laws can differ from state to state.
