Default smoked tail lights and cops in LA

Hey guys. Ever since I was a kid I wanted to have a car with tinted tail lights and I'm thinking this is the car to do it with. I frequently go to West L.A./Santa Monica and work in Manhattan Beach. I want to get them painted but I'm affraid a cop will pull me over and then I'll be screwed. I don't know how hard gettings tints put on them are becuase the tail lights have a bunch of edges on them. And I potentially want to leave the white turn signal part not tinted. Depends what I ultimately end up doing with the car.

When I got my nav put in I inquired about this and the they wanted around $300 to paint them and said tints suck because they'll shrink in the sun and would need to be replaced after a while. Window tints don't shrink so I figured he was full of it.

So you people with darkened tail lights in the greater LA area. How has your luck with cops been? and tint or paint?

Thank you!
