I'm not sure why I'm even defending myself here... but as long as they're red (tails) and visible at xxx meters day and night... that's all there is to it. I'm not running a clear solution (which the cops seem to hate more than other aftermarket stuff) or anything else silly. As far as the corners go, it'll be the most sketchy part of my mods, but again... it's a visibility thing. If they're permitting 90+% of the stock light power through, then who cares? As far as the signals go... you can watch them all day long and not realize they're tinted. Double for at night.
It's just kinda funny how some folks are nailing me here on this, when it's an IDEA that might never leave my driveway, when they're modding as well and their mods might not meet another cop's rules. Lowering springs, body mods, intake/header/exhaust, and others... they might all tip off a cop and land you a few love notes. Even tint.
I'm really quite shocked to hear that we either have an alarming number of people who don't understand the concept of "if it's going to prove risky, then I've wasted a few dollars and don't care", or an exceedingly large number of our members are casting stones whilst inhabiting glass houses of their own.
I've been inspected (informally) many times over so far by many members of our local constabulary... and trust me, if North Bay cops wanted to haul me in on this one... they would. I've been pulled over for much less.
