I heard that smoking out your tail lights were illegal. Is this true?

 

Yeah, they are illegal. But eveything you modify on a car is illegal; intake, exhaust, vynl graphics blocking view, front tv, etc.

 

if you don't them too dark, you should be ok.

 

i've had mine for about a month and have had no problems...

 

same here.. fortunately, our smoked lights arent super dark

 

when did intakes and exhausts become illegal? never heard of that..... :?

 

I think he must mean the intake types that DON'T have CARB approval...same for the exhaust...plus most are WAY TOO LOUD!

 

I've yet to have any problems with mine, and I've had them on for over a year now.

Technically, ne mods done to your car after purchase are illegal.
Stupid laws, but they overlook the little things.
Too many ppl would be getting pulled over, and the import scene wouldn't be wut it is today and the Scion probably wouldn't exist. but thank god it does

i have bat's smoked tails on my ride and haven't ever had a problem i love them and would recommend them to anybody. if you are worried though he has red overlays for our car too.

 

Jon,

We need to hook up. I have new ideas for the xB I'd like to test out on your car. PM me

hey bat i tried pming you but it was coming back with errors but i'm free on sunday so just pm the details and we'll get together.

 

they are illegal but you can argue the point. just like the eurotailights, black out tailights are on some cars from the factory Example- Mazda RX-7 i think it is the 95-97 not sure about the year, also the 99-00 trailblazer from chevy has smoked tailights, so if the company can sell them stock with smoked tailights then they can't be illegal. because that would be discrimination . same thing with the euro tailights, mitsubishi outlander, and evo,lancer have euros stock, and mercedes come with them too. and now the clear taillights are legal beause of the scion and the prius. car companies are great, they create loop holesin the laws for us.

 

those vinyl overlays are cool but i see one problem. - where are the back up lights? especially with the redout. we can't have red back up lights, people will run into us thinking we are parking when we are really backing up. other than that they are cool .can you make a kit with everything red but the backuplights?

 

My redout kit is available without the Overlay over the backup light

does anyone have pics of the smoked overlays on a blue Xb? I would like to see how that looks.

If so how does it look and do u have anypics? Also...some people have said they are hard to put on and others said they were easy...anyone have any tips for installing these overlays? Thanx
