No. Colombian traffic regulations under Decreto 1077 de 2015 (Reglamento Nacional de Tránsito) and Resolución 3770 de 2013 (Ministerio de Transporte) prohibit window tints below 35% light transmittance for front side windows and windshields. A 15% tint exceeds this limit, rendering it illegal for operational vehicles.
Key Regulations for 15% Window Tint in Colombia
- Front Side Windows: Must allow ≥35% light transmittance (Art. 2.2.1.1.3.1, Decreto 1077).
- Windshields: Must be fully transparent (≥70% light transmittance), with no tints permitted (Art. 2.2.1.1.3.2).
- Enforcement: Police (Policía Nacional) and transit authorities (Secretarías de Movilidad) conduct roadside inspections, issuing fines (COP 150,000–300,000) and mandatory tint removal.
Post-2023, Bogotá and Medellín have intensified compliance checks under Plan Nacional de Seguridad Vial, aligning with Ley 2251 de 2022 (road safety reforms). Vehicles with non-compliant tints face impoundment until corrected. Exemptions apply only to armored or medical necessity vehicles with prior Ministerio de Transporte approval.
