Hey guys, I was just wondering if any of you who have/had tinted tail lights have ever had issues with cops? I was thinking of having mine tinted/smoked, but don't really want to attract MORE attention from the cops. Let me know! Thanks people!

I would suggest using a film tint as opposed to the spray on stuff. It is very easy to mess up the spray stuff, plus, if you do get heat about tinted tails, the vinyl stuff can peel off instead of having to buy new lights.

Tinted tails aren't illegal, but that doesn't mean you won't get pulled over for it. But if someone rearends you it can be your fault since the tail lights wouldn't be as bright

I understand that, but I think it is bs because you can have a shitty old car that has dull lights, but that's fine...

and the cops will say something about a film on them if you get pulled over.. but if they are sprayed the correct way.. they will light up like they are not tinted, and you will still be able to see the dot stamp on the lens so the cops cant say anything about it. if they can see that you can peel it off, they will try n make you pull if off if you get one of those kinda cops that dont have anything better to do

there is no law sayin tinted tails are illegal, but that aint gona stop some police officers from tellin you they are.. if you let them.. if your gona do stuff like this to your vehicle, know your shit before you do it.. and you will never get a ticket for em.. ive had mine for 4 yrs.. never got one single ticket.. at the same time have had 17 window tint tickets in the same vehicle, even had my registration suspended for window tint.. but not one ticket and/or warning for my lights.. front or rear.. __________________ WE DO IT ALL, FROM PAINT TO FIBERGLASS, FRAME SECTIONING TO LIFTS, CONVERSIONS TO VERTICAL DOORS.. http://www.XCLUZIVEAUTOWORKZ.COM |
