Default Moving to FL. Tinted Tails + HIDs

Hows it goin guys. In exactly a month I'm gonna be moving down to FL for school and I'm gonna be bringin my tC down with me. I heard that florida cops are real **** about tinted tails and HIDs. Is this true? I haven't had any trouble with them in NY but will I run into trouble down there? Gonna be primarily in Daytona Beach if it matters. I mean I understand that I might get pulled over for them, hell I might get pulled over for them in NY. But are the cops bound to pull me over just for that stuff or is it more along the lines of getting a ticket for them ontop of speeding or what not.

I have been in front of police several times and they haven't stopped me for my tailights. I did mine so dark you can't see anything during the day, but they sure do look great. At night you can see thru them just fine.
It all depends on what mood the officer is in at the time you drive by.

lol.. even grandmas have tinted tails and HID's around here.. shoot, there was a crew of 4 wheelers with HID's cruising last night.. you will even see limo tinted windshields!
all usually ignored by po.. if your doing something else and get caught, thats when they usually add these offenses to it.
Maybe once a year you hear about a cop who tickets for this stuff.. go to court with pictures of the stuff removed, and your gold.
I know a lot of guys never really remove the stuff and show the judge old pics of their cars,
before the stuff was installed, and go home clean.. lol

when your in a state where under cover cops are rolling on 20's, you know your good

yea thats what I figured. When I went down to visit the school I saw some dope cars so I wasnt too sure when everyone here was saying that cops are **** down there. I figured theyd be harsher up here.

okay so im leavin the Tints and HIDs on then. I didn't think HIDs would be a problem since theyre 6K so theyre practically white. I could prolly get away just saying theyre stock. I was more worried about the tinted tails.
