Default 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..

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.

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 . 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:








Srry got a lil pic happy
