The short answer
Yes. A front side window can meet a light-transmission target and still exceed Arizona's luminous-reflectance limit. A windshield strip can be noncompliant because it extends too low or is red or amber. Rear-window tint can create a separate issue when the vehicle lacks qualifying outside mirrors on both sides. Arizona also generally prohibits material placed in a way that obstructs or reduces the driver's clear view except where a statutory exception applies.
Condition matters as well as the original installation. Bubbling, peeling, distortion, haze or debris trapped in the film can impair visibility even if the product once had a compliant laboratory rating. Film can also interfere with a camera, sensor, antenna, defroster, required marking or another vehicle feature. Check the complete installed system rather than relying on a shade name or invoice. If law enforcement, MVD or an inspection raises a concern, preserve the product paperwork and obtain an actual measurement and installation assessment. Tint rules vary by jurisdiction, so an Arizona-compliant installation is not a promise of compliance in every state where the vehicle may travel.
