TestTransmission

From the nct manual

If an inspector deems that the windscreen or front side windows are excessively tinted, the level of light transmission
of the window should be tested using light meter capable of measuring the amount of light transmitted through the
windscreen and the side windows along side the driver to an accuracy of ± 3% and suitable for reliable use in an
inspection centre environment.

Basically the glass in windscreen and front side windows are required to have a transmission level of not less than 65%.The gardai can also stop you and test on the side of the road.Hasn't happened anyone I know though.

NCT are fairly strict on it, so if you've a test due up wait to get it done afterwards.

And then take the risk that the feds may not take kindly to it...:pac:

You came here asking one question and that was answered.

You then decided to change the goal posts by asking a completely different question to what you originally asked.

Here's the nct manual, read it
