r they illeagel(spelling) or how would i go about findin out

look at your local/state laws.... I think

i tryed lookin on the net but couldnt find the website i feelin stupid lol

ehh there most likely illegal in most states. I know they're illegal here in NY but i rocked them all summer with no issues. some minor looks but no pull overs.

mine is not much darker thne your so u think i gooin to be good

In CA, they must be visible from 300 ft away and you must have some type of red reflector in the back.

Every state laws are different.... heck even every counties have different takes on it. Your best bet would be to go to your local police station or court house and ask.

I've had mine for over 2 years with no problem(knock on wood)

Illegal here in WA. Our RCW prohibits any type of cover, tint, or film on the OUTSIDE of the lens, which I guess also includes eyelids :flame:

I read somewhere in the National Traffic Safety Code, err whatever it is, it is also prohibited to alter the outside of the lens.

I agree, check with your local PD, if possible get it in writing that you are street legal and drive safely!

thnka people i will check with my Pigs :rofl:

Whats up tcnoob, I was wondering the same thing. I was thinking about buy some tint and putting it on the tail lights and the tbl.

I dont think the cops around here are as strickt about that stuff. I've seen people braking the speed limit big time when cops were around. I hardly see people pulled over for other big time offences either......def a good thing though.

Could i use regular window tint for the tails?

You wana meet up sometime tomorrow evening? I dont have anything to do except get some new tires at bobs.

Great thing about my Overlays is that the light and reflectors are still quite visible from a distance, and this is with my darker tint :).

Bat™

i checked with the popo and the martinsburg said no and then followed me out and then waited for me to leave and followed me home so i think idk if i gointo put them n but i think i can seee them from 300ft away

that sentence made no sense, u went there, asked them, they said it is legal, so they followed you home?

sry but they said i cant do it, then followed my home to see if i put them in

damn, they followed you home... wtf. seems like they had nothing better to do.

when i went and asked (about 3 years ago), the local pd was very nice and explained to me the law. they were actually impressed that i went and asked.

i had mine for about 6 months, no problems. I even had cops follow right behind me too.

But I did get pulled over like 2 months ago in dc and he slapped me with a fixit ticket

really depends on the cops tho

If you are concerned about legality a good place to start is with your area's vehicle inspection laws. The regulations do vary and of course the interpretations of them varies ever more. If you ask the police it mod XYZ legal they will most likely say no, no matter what it is...

Generally speaking our Smoked Taillight kits do not look significantly dimmer at night, no matter which of the three shades are installed.

At least you can peel them off if push comes to shove, something you can't do if you paint them.

here is wyoming you have to be able to see your tails from 100ft away so you could dark black without them being able to really harass you. but u could still get the cop who had a bad day and try to write you a ticket

must be visible from 150 ft here mine are dark as eff have cops behind me al the time never been pulled over for it.. headlights on the other hand they are pretty hard those

and if u paint them comes off easy with laquer thinner the stick on ones never look that good always kinda dull and a real bear to get on right creases in the corners too

plus if u paint em u can wax em and polish em just like ur cars paint

^ ??
there is a big difference between the available 'stick on ones' as you call them.

Tail lights that are tinted via paint CAN be removed. I've done this numerous times and made a whole thread about it.

i put them in the tc and i wait to see if they pull me over or not :pray: and flea is right the vht can come off with thinner right

a micrfiber towel and lacquer thinner :D and buffed with some PlastiX for a better than stock finish!!

no doubt i chose a more abrasive and less expensive rag for tint removal.. lol i was ruining to many nice micro fibers that way til i decided why use micro fiber if ima polish em up any ways lol.. but plastiX ftw

also can easily be sanded of with the d/a some windex and some 800 grit then re clearcoated and polished as u would tinted ones

haha wong=reaper on ystc.com hhahaha

but yeah those microfiber towels ____ the bed after using them qith the thinner

u guys what me to post pics of them n the tc

post em up!

Paint FTW! Can overlays do this? Uh.....no.
