Headlight Tint Laws in Illinois: Be Informed, Tint and Avoid Tickets!

Headlight Tint Laws in Illinois: Be Informed, Tint and Avoid Tickets!

Vehicle Code laws for headlight tinting in Illinois

Chapter 12, Section 12-201 of the Illinois Vehicle Code states that all motor vehicles except motorcycles should have 2 lighted headlamps showing white lights, including HID lamps or lights of a yellow or amber tint. They should be used from sunset to sunrise and also during rain, snow, or fog, or whenever the light is insufficient. Tail lamps should mandatorily emit red light visible from at least 500 feet.

Chapter 12, Section 12-212 states that a red light placed in front of the vehicle is prohibited, as well as flashing lights (except for right and left turn indicating lights) and other combinations of lights. This paragraph also states:

No person shall drive or move any motor vehicle or equipment upon any highway with any lighting or combination of lighting with a smoked or tinted lens or cover.”

The approved tints in the state of Illinois — are yellow or amber tints.

Is it illegal to tint your headlights?

There is not one single law that is applicable in the entire country and each state has its own laws and regulations regarding tinting, whether it is for car windows or headlights. Some countries and states have completely banned headlight tinting while others have not.

You should also keep in mind that even if you respect the laws in your own state but you are then traveling to another, you may still risk getting pulled over as the laws may be different there.

While it may be illegal in your state to color or block your headlights with a dark tint you can still apply an invisible film that will not block the light but will protect the headlight against road debris. Using a dark film is dangerous, as it can not only reduce visibility for the driver but also make the car less visible to the other participants in traffic. Using colors is also dangerous or confusing, so the most common tints are gray or slightly smoked.

Benefits of headlight tinting

When thinking about tinting most people are thinking about the windows of a car, but a tinting film can also be added to the headlights and taillights. This helps the vehicle with:

  • Increased protection against scratches
  • Increased protection against fading caused by the UV rays of the sun
  • A more appealing look, especially when it comes to the show cars, antique, or sports vehicles.
