no picture cody. but i don't think you would get hassled for it

 

You'll get hassled if the reflector cannot be seen. I was, three times, let off with a warning all three.

 

ok well i might just do vht night shades but like one or two coats so you can still see the reflectors

 

Knock on wood, no one has told me anything yet, but I'm pretty sure it's illegal no matter what state your in.

 

I have gotten 2 inspection stickers and been pulled over by State Police for speeding and was never questioned once. This doesn't also count the many times I have been directly infront of many different type of law enforcement.

 

ok this is promising

 

here is a picture of my truck what do yall think it would look like

 

I say do it, but I'm kinda biast since mine are done. Also you could do what i did and order another set of tails, that way you have another set if they start screwing with you.

 

I never got shit about mine. Here's a pic of solocrew's tails painted to match truck, looks good to me

 

I have smoked mine and have passed inspection in Germany with them. I can't imagine anything illegal in the states that isn't illegal in this country. They failed me when I got for my Lakewood Traction bars. They told that because they had a forward facing edge they could cut somebody. I thought that if the traction bars are cutting somebody as I'm running them over, the cuts would be the last of their worries.

 

dam they look good when there painted to match but can you even tell when you hit the breaks???

 

This might give you an idea...

 

Painted to match looks awesome. Several trucks around here have them, and the light still shines thru well enough.

 

thanks blurred thats exactly what I was looking for I think I made up my mind

 

wrap em in pantyhose. lol it looks the exact same, and I was riding with my buddy who did it, got pulled over. And he asked to cop if he can take em off, he said yes. So he ripped them off and got out of a ticket.

 

hahaha wow thats smart thinkin, if u didnt no he had those on his tail lights and u were behind him do you think you would be able to tell???

 

Yea they give the same effect as smoked, you cant really tell unless you are up like on the truck. I always tell people to do for a month to see if the like the look of smoked or not, Its alot cheaper and easier then, VHT them.

 

az law stataes that as long as the light puts out the correct color(red rear white/amber front) and is visible up to 500 feet away day and night it doesnt matter what you do to them

 

I've studied the laws on this, and stay with red/amber in the back, and white/amber in the front. For your own safety first, and common sense/aesthetics second.

First off, I personally think there's just no improving on the stock lamps. they blend so well on the truck, they almost disappear anyway. On my red truck, they're all but invisible. I want custom tails, but aftermarkets look particularly ricey, like they just thought we'd accept that.

Painted lamps almost always come out looking VERY cheesy, and I'm being NICE.

Chrome Ram's-Head plastic overlays are nearly as ugly, to me anyways.

If you have a BLACK truck, or just want them "murdered out" a bit, I'd suggest modding the INSIDES!

Using the "headlamp bake" methodology, pop the backs off them, and build new lamp holders using parts of the stock parts, or, put a mesh inside the back of the lens and call it a day.

Embedding LED's directly into the lens would be a cool trick too, and they'd have a custom look with minimal effort.

With my CNC, I've been considering "inlaying" a pair of red skull faces. I got a pair of red plastic goblets at Halloween that look like a compatible material. A simple black tube would be inserted through the lens, and the face put into the middle of that, recessed, so it's only seen on braking. =A LOT of work for a silly idea. -Look who's talking....



A bazillion new pics on my site, if you know where it is...

 

ive never got any problems with mine and ive been through BR, lafayette, N.O., kenner etc etc. hell i even had a cop on a bike look at my truck and knod his head like he liked it lol. i done about 3 coats of niteshades and some clear. lights up pretty good during the day and like stock at night.

 

well i also have the light bar which has turns brakes running and reverse lights so if i really wanted to i could do away witht the tails but im just going to smoke them

 

I talked to a cop here in Arkansas and he told me: "tail light black outs or light tint are fine as long as the following vehicle can distinguish between the change from tail lights and brake lights from 500 ft." Guess it worked I never had a problem and I had my blazer's tails tinted for 2 years. I even had the third brake light tinted. They were black during the day. heres a pic:

 

well if you do it and dont like it i have an extra set of factory 07 break lights jsut PM me if you are interested. we can work something out

 

ok sounds good

 

now i gotta find time to do it

 

Mine are color matched...see
I would be highly interested in the skulled ones!!!
500' and distinguish in IL 2
