Got tail lights tinted....

Allot of cars around here have it. It’s OK if you don’t know much about the technology I didn’t either.View attachment 328070

Best to keep that “technology” info handy for when you get pulled over. Unless that tint is DOT approved you're paying the fine.

It will pass for Indiana, specifically Porter County. The level is new technology that allows 90% of light transferable.

The Indiana Code does not explicitly prohibit the use of blackouts or translucent covers for headlights and brake lights on motor vehicles. It does, however, create requirements for the visibility of headlights and brake lights. These requirements do not directly prohibit light covers, but limit the level of tinting that may be applied.

I would be concerned about daytime visibility, or lack thereof. I could easily see a citation for this if you were ever rear ended and the other driver said “I didn’t see any brake lights”. There is always a catch all charge available should you be so inclined to draw unwanted attention.

But anyway, go get some mud on the truck already.

Because I was curious and had some time to kill while....sitting in the bathroom stall...I looked up Texas code on this. Basically, if more than 50% of the LEDs are lit, it's red,, not broken and shoddy, and you can see it from 1000 feet away, you're good. And I would argue that no cop or vehicle inspector is going to check from a 1000 feet away.

Indiana is 100 feet in normal sunlight.

The state of PA has a stick up their butt regarding tints. You'd get pulled over in a hot second for that unfortunately. Clear tail lights? Different story (apparently).

Yep, any modifications to the stock lighting is a violation in the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Windows are violations as well, you can only have it as dark as 70% which is basically clear.. I remember one time they setup a no **** tint trap on one of the major roadways through Exton and I got pulled aside along with several other's and they just handed out tickets for anyone driving by with tint.

Absolutely crazy - wife got pulled over on 476 strictly for her tints in her old S10 Blazer. She wasn't even speeding and was in the right lane lol
