Kraven: Assuming you're talking about vehicle tinting:
http://www.nzta.govt.nz/resources/factsheets/39/vehicle-windows-wipers-and-mirrors.html
Nokia2012: The darkest window tinting you are allowed on an MA class vehicle is 35 %. So all your side windows can be 35 and your back windscreen can be completely tinted to 35 percent. you are also allow to tint the top the windscreen but only 10 cm I think.
I suggest getting a professional to Tint your glass as it is not an easy job the tint can bubble if installed incorrectly.
On courier vans you are allowed 5 % in the back but you must change your vehicle class to do this.
I have 20 % on my side windows which IS NOT LEGAL but I was able to get warrant with them but only just.
Only had one cop hassle me about it.
stocksp: And the reason it is not legal is that it is not safe. Safe driving really requires eye contact to be made at intersections etc to ascertain whether the other driver has seen you. In the absence of this its guesswork, luck and the hope that the other driver is aware of your presence (and intends to follow the road rules).
Why do you want a dark tint anyway?

Additional safety issue when reversing at night, best just wind down the windows in my experience :)
As to why, wow, they make such a huge difference when you park your car in the sun! Also I guess Security and Safety, i know, now contradicting, but if your glass shatters, the tint will tend to hold most of it in place.
