While tinting vehicle windows can be beneficial, some Kansas car windows are tinted darkly enough to give police reason to pull over the driver.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The darkness of window tints varies. Michigan law allows up to a 35% reflective tint, which makes drivers appear shaded but still visible to other motorists.
