My recollection of past inspection rules was that tint on the front driver/passenger windows had to be very minimal in order to pass inspection. For example, I had dark limo tint applied to the back 7 windows of my van back in 2012, but my front driver and passenger windows could not be tinted. If I wanted any tint at all on the front windows, it was essentially nothing, and all my other windows had to be tinted to the same minimal level.

Another change with vehicle inspections has to do with dummy lights on the dashboard. For example, if your vehicle came with TPMS tire sensors, and you were running aftermarket wheels that didn't have TPMS sensors, the dummy light on the dash would be illuminated. This was grounds for failing inspection, because it was essentially a factory safety feature that had been disabled. Now though, the TPMS dummy light can be on and your car won't automatically fail inspection. This is helpful because, when I run snow tires on separate rims, I don't have TPMS sensors installed. I used to have to get my vehicles inspected every year before I swapped out my summer rims/tires for winter rims/tires. But in January 2021, I bought a car, which had just been inspected prior to sale, so inspection wasn't due until February 2022. Of course I put new steel rims with snow tires on the car, and the TPMS light is on during winter. My mechanic said this was no longer a problem.
