VEP for Singapore Cars with Advanced Tinting: Staying Compliant

We all love a good window tint in Singapore, especially with our crazy heat! It keeps the car cool and looks great. But here's the thing: when you drive that beautifully tinted car into Malaysia, that premium tint can actually turn into a bit of a legal headache.

So, what's the deal with these tinting rules? It all comes down to something called VLT, or Visible Light Transmission. Basically, it's how much light gets through your car windows. Malaysian law has specific minimums you need to hit:

• Front Windscreen: Needs to let in at least 70% of light.
• Front Side Windows: Needs to let in at least 50% of light.
• Rear Side Windows & Rear Screen: Good news here – no limit! You can go as dark as you like.

Now, your VEP application itself won't ask about your tint. But getting caught with tint that's too dark in Malaysia can lead to some real headaches:
