I have a doctors prescription for 5%, and in Michigan (or at least in my part) they don't even make you get a DMV form I just pull out the scrip from my center console and show it and they let me go :D
Wrong. In MI the law provides for an endorsement on your DL that allows you to drive a tinted vehicle. You get a script from your eye doc, take it to the Secretary of State office and they put the endorsement on your license.
Get pulled over by a state trooper and let me know how that script goes for you. You WILL get a ticket.

I have a script and have been pulled over numerous times (more than 3x's) in my vehicles (never in the Tahoe, though, for some reason) with 20% on the front (two times have been by the state boys). I only have to pull out my prescription and I am good to go. It works out fine for me!

What do all you guys say to the doctors ? The sun gives you a headache ? Wouldn't they just tell you to wear sunglasses ? I thought you had to have some kind of skin problem.. Which is a little tougher to fake , hmm am curious towards this .. And interested

I have a legitimate issue with my eyes and light so my eye Dr. gave me one. He only gives out 1 to 2 a year and only for people with actual problems. He said he actually meets with the local police to discuss window tint and writing scripts. He did not elaborate on what he meets with them about, though.

I have heard that some Dr.s will just give them out to anyone, though.

I even have my house tinted. Everything I own with windows (except my computers) have tint! ;)

I had ALL {even windshield} tinted to 35% and loved it. I have never been pulled over for it, so I am not sure if it is legal or not.

My window tint guy would not elaborate on whether it was legal or not, but he also refused to right me a receipt......Hmmm.
He said it was because the water run off from tinting can damage the "on-board" computer and that he did not want to be liable for the damages.

It was the best $200 bucks I have ever spent {for 2 vehicles}.

In my experience, you need a legitimate medical reason to get a medical waiver. Usually either an eye or skin condition that makes you sensitive to UV rays. Or a doctor that just doesn't give a shit. lol

In CO, medical exemptions aren't recognized at all, but I was running 15% all around on my land cruiser and never got screwed with. I haven't tinted the Tahoe yet but I'm getting a new windshield tomorrow. I'll probably get that new AirBlue ceramic tint on the windshield, and just tint match the front windows to the rear for now. I'll get the rears darker when summer gets closer.
