[huslindan]

According to tintlaws.com, any tint on the front side windows is illegal.

Illegal

basically if the cop is hounding you as much as you say he is, you have 2 choices.
1. leave it on and get tickets.
2. take them off.

you can't change, or talk your way around the laws.

[808-213-503]

NJ Statute
Title 39
Sections 3-46 to 3-84
Unlawful Vehicle Modifications

I'd do the research for you of the specific portion of the law, but the Statutes portion of the NJ website is somehow broken.

Most states, you can't do after-market stuff if you want to be street-legal.

If you remove the offending stuff and show proof in court as well as explain that you didn't know, that would usually get your citation cancelled in court. I say 'usually' because you never know what sort of judge you'll get. Some are outright a-holes that don't care about any sense of fairness or leniency. :nails:

Sometimes some minor citations cannot be issued unless the officer had stopped you for a more serious offense.

i no in NJ window tint is a no no lol... im asking about the headlight tint..


so your saying a cop can not pull you over for petty things like that and ticket you ?

[huslindan]

the reason i got 8 k was i couldnt see when i tinted them the 8 k with the tint is like stock brightness or a little brighter iv had my head lights like this for about a year no problems till now...

[tri856]

nj tinting is illegal in the passenger and driver windows but any other window u can do as dark as you want and im not sure about the lights tinted

[hagakure]

why would you think your headlight? Trying to be cool or something?

[huslindan]

do u mean tint not think my headlight dont u no about overlays? i got the kit off ebay and did all my lights its like smoking your lights it makes the car look cool and i never had a problem with it for a year..

what would the ticket even be for the headlights ? if anyone know cuz i searched the whole day still nothing on headlight tint anywhere..

should i just go to like a different police station and ask ? lol

Tint on headlights is not expressly illegal. But the HIDs are, so he's got you one way or the other.

[SquallLHeart]

HIDs.. nono.. :no:
