The legality of window tint also varies from state to state, meaning your new ride with the 35% tint may need a quick shave to keep the law off your back and out of your wallet.

What should I do? A: Look into a tint with a higher VLT, or visible light transmission. The higher the percentage, the more light will be let in, such as 35 percent versus pitch-black 5 percent.

Kansas law 8-1749a prohibits window tint on registered Kansas vehicles with less than 35% light transmission on all windows. This includes the front-side, back side and rear windows.

A general rule of thumb is if the window is located behind the driver, window tint is allowed. This window tint must be transparent and allow 35 percent or more light through.

Plus, the rules change from state to state. Many states limit window tint to 35%, and some set the limit at 50 and even 70%. Worker holds a sample of tinted glass applied to cars.
