Tinted Tails/Heads Questions
 
Has anybody had any problems with the cops as far as tail light and headlight tint. I have a silver car and want to tint both for a more aggressive look.

Second, does anyone have any forum or google links to any our of cars with headlight tint, or tailight tint for that matter, but spec. headlight tint.

Thanks

one more thing, would appreciate if anyone was an ex cop or has asked a cop to get a general consensus of how they view tint on our cars. I am in law school so I know the liability issue and the law, and I know its not a good idea, but neither is tinting windows dark and everyone does it and its looked upon with ease.

AND DONT FORGET THE PICS LOL

cops dont worry much about the headlight and taillight tint here in vegas i think..window tinting 35% is legal tint and you can get away with 20%. just roll down your window if you ever get pull over...knock on wood..

hmmm i wonder how it would look with the tinted tail light on monterey blue?

I'm down in Naples, FL and I never had a problem with my tints. I have gotten a couple of speeding tickets and the cops never said anything about the tints on the lights.

I got 5% window tint, tail lights tinted really dark and blacked out headlights with 8000K HID's. Never been pulled over. I thought i was going to be pulled over the other day, cuz a cop was right on my rear bumper. And then i took a second look in my mirror and his lights were on, then when a lane opened up to my left he flew past me. Anyways heres pics of mine.

bullitt5897 03-23-2010 11:04 AM

OK,

In the state of GA it is Illegal to tint the front headlights. The rear taillights can be tinted as long as they are visible at 300-500 ft in any light condition... I have been pulled over 3-4 times by the same cop :shakes head:. Its to the point of harassment if he pulls me over again. He knows my tint is legal and I have the darkest tint on the boards:

GTR style are pretty sweet.

I had Brian (used to work at autospa on Pine Ridge) do mine. He had the same vinyl that Bat uses, so I didnt have to order and wait. Brian does good work, and is price are very fair. Send me a PM if you want his number.

Do you have your Roof and Fangs blacked out? I seen a sick White 370Z pulling off Shirley onto Pine Ridge, was that you?

Im getting mine re-done right now because I couldn't even see my headlights on the back of the car in front of me lolol. It look like I have Demon eyes when I turn on the headlights because the tint is so dark. I went by a cop last night and this morning and I didnt get pulled over and I am in Virginia! I am only making them lighter because I cant see at night.

Mike 07-16-2011 12:06 PM

I have the tails on my expedition tinted as well. I recently got pulled over by Georgia State Trooper for window tint and because the license plate frame obstructed the name of the county (total BS stop).

Windows tested legal and he didn't even mention the tail lights. I think if you get them done professionally so they look like they came that way, you will be fine.

Baer383 07-16-2011 01:28 PM

Mine are also Dark and have had no problems they are very bright despite the tint.These are JDM clear taillights.

ZCarMan 07-17-2011 07:09 AM

The only issue I've ever had was when I moved from VA to MD and then had to get my Z to pass the state safety inspection. Otherwise, no problems to date in MD.

Bluebatmobile 07-18-2011 03:08 PM

I offer two tints for my head and taillight overlays. Email me to order ;).
