It is legal in Texas to a certain extent. You gotta be able to see the red lights 1000ft from the car. But who knows how cops will judge that. I had fairly dark tinted tail lights on my older car and cops have never given me trouble in 2 years, even when i got pulled over.

Yea I tried pulling that out in a nice respectful manner with the cop, and he just got all loud and aggressive about it. Yelling "No it's illegal, who told you that? Wasn't the DPS" I didn't feel like driving back to San Antonio to court just to prove my point and risk losing. And it wasn't like I was speeding like crazy either 80 in a 70. He was just being an *** and wanted to find as much things he could to ticket me for. It was a fix it ticket for the lights, but how do you fix paint without ordering another set?..cost more.
