What is a starlight headliner?
A starlight headliner is a car's roof lining fitted with hundreds of fiber-optic strands, each ending in a point of light, so the ceiling glows like a night sky. A small light engine hidden behind the trim feeds the fibers and sets their color and brightness from a remote or a phone app.
Read the guideConnecticut window tint law.
In Connecticut, tinted front side windows must still let through at least 32% of light, measured with a meter accurate to ±3%. On cars the rear side windows follow the same 32% rule. SUVs, pickups and vans with outside mirrors on both sides can go darker behind the driver, and so can the rear window of any vehicle with two outside mirrors.

Carbon, ceramic and nano ceramic are three grades of window film. Carbon is chosen for looks and starts at $220 for a full car, ceramic adds heat rejection from $320, and nano ceramic rejects the most heat from $420. Windshields are priced separately.
