ok. Just found this on the CHP website:

Can I put after-market tinting on the windows of my vehicle?

The main requirements for legal window tinting in California are:

The windshield and front driver's side and passenger's side windows cannot receive any aftermarket tinting.

If the rear window of a vehicle is tinted, the vehicle must have outside rearview mirrors on both sides.

The law prohibits any person from driving any motor vehicle with any object or material placed, displayed, installed, affixed, or applied upon the windshield or side or rear windows, with certain limited exceptions.

However, legislation signed into law effective January 1, 1999, exempts from the above prohibition specified clear, colorless, and transparent material that is installed, affixed, or applied to the front driver and passenger side windows for the specific purpose of reducing ultraviolet rays. If, as, or when this material becomes torn, bubbled or otherwise worn, it must be removed or replaced.

I'm 99% sure the law is you can have as dark as you want on the back 3 windows, but nothing on the front 3(I think you can have a 4" strip at the top of the windshield)

With that said I've been driving the yaris for 2 years with the front 2 windows tinted one step under limo. Only 1 ticket for it so far, and that was with a speeding ticket. Never been pulled over just for the tint.

It's probably just one of those laws that they don't enfore because everyone does it.
