i live in florida, and i have my tail lights tinted...

bout 11pm here and im driven , new greddy exhuast, (really loud) ...( might have attracted him to my car?) so im driven and all, and he just drives behind me for 10 minutes. and im thinking... "go for it, follow me all u like. ill drive just fine" so im drivin great, and the lights go on?

so i have to pull into this plaza place (first ever pull over, i was scared, but laughed, just cause i knew a bunch of **** was about to happen) he started talkin bout my tag number and how its expired. which if he looked... 04-09 is when it expires... then hes like is this tint legal? and luckily it is! then hes checkin everything

THEN

"you know those tail lights are tinted. bit dim for your brake lights which is illegal" it really isnt that dim at all, and i can see my brake lights just fine. i had my friend chec this for me and hit em and everything... but idk, is this illegal in florida? do i really need to take them off? or is he just a d*** of a cop?

 

You need to look through your DMV website. It should have any information on customizing vehicles. Here's a link to the CT one just for an example.

I also think it depends on which state you are at. In MA, i know for sure its illegal, but not too many cops give me **** about it.

 

Yeh, it depends state by state, but it should state the distance you should be able to see the break light (like 500 ft or whatever).


nj people can use this: NJ LAW

search for tail light

 

Hey where do you live in Florida? Cuz it may be the area or it could be the specific officer. I live in Miami, Fl and these cops wont really stop for that only for loud *** exhaust or windows tinted bellow 9%

 

yea i live in miami to i got 5% tints and had lightly tinted tail lights but get this a @#%%&^$ of a cop stoped be for having my music 2 loud (bass on -6 and volume on 21) i got 2 12"s but WTF? but i do know if ur tailight r too dark ull get stopped

 

i live in FL as well and I have seen so many people with blacked out taillights and headlights its not even funny. i think he was just being a d*** of a cop...ive had one of those.....

 

i dont know about your laws.. MN are pretty lame tho. Refer to this site.. they seem to know a bunch bout smoking things smoke tail lights database
