What happens to tint coverage if there is a high mounted brake light in the rear window?

When considering the impact of a high mounted brake light on tint coverage, the requirement is that the light must remain uncovered. This is to ensure that the brake light remains visible to other drivers, which is crucial for safety on the road. High mounted brake lights serve an important function in alerting other drivers when the vehicle is braking, and if the tint covers this light, it could significantly reduce visibility and increase the risk of rear-end collisions.

The regulations are in place to ensure compliance with safety standards, which prioritize the visibility of lights on vehicles. Therefore, having an uncovered brake light is essential for maintaining these safety standards. This means that any window that houses a high mounted brake light needs to retain clear visibility, even if tinting is applied elsewhere on the vehicle.

Options that suggest the tint can cover the light, that tint can only cover the sides, or that the entire window can be tinted all do not adhere to the safety regulations that require the brake light to remain unobstructed.
