they're illegal no matter where you go. but they look cool. my old LX coupe had two coats of VHT nightshades, and then cleared over. just perfect IMO and still very visible even during the day.

You sure about that? The only thing I remember reading on the website is that the taillights must be visible from a certain distance.

You shouldn't have much of a problem around here. No one cares that much.

(3) Every motor vehicle and trailer, other than a motorcycle, a road roller, or road machinery, shall be equipped with one or more taillights, at the rear of the motor vehicle or trailer, exhibiting a red light visible from a distance of at least five hundred feet to the rear of such vehicle.

(4) Every motorcycle shall be equipped with at least one and not more than two headlights and with a taillight exhibiting a red light visible from a distance of at least five hundred feet to the rear of such motorcycle.

(b) Each taillight shows red directly to the rear, the lens covering each taillight is unbroken, each taillight is securely fastened, and the electric circuit is free from grounds or shorts;

(c) There is no more than one spotlight except for law enforcement personnel, government employees, and public utility employees;

Cliff Notes: Any lights on your car must be visible at a distance of 500 ft under normal atmospheric conditions and be in good working order.

Way to do research.

I 'smoked' the ones on the merkur like this. you can still tell they are red though in the daylight. looks hawt. i had some pictures but no idea what happened to them.

no one has ever said anything to me about them.
