its probally one of those things where youd only get a ticket for it if your gettin pulled over for speeding. Its like tinting the front windows where i live, cops don't care about just the tint, but if there pulling you over then there gonna give you a ticket for that and make you remove it.

Try it out and see if you get caught, or ticketed.

yep its a fix-it ticket. If you can't see the red you will get pulled over. You have a better chance smoking them and getting away. But if you black them out its a ticket

Blame the D.O.T. they made the rules. Any lights in the back of the car has to be red brake and running lights. Turns amber or red. Anything in the front has to be amber only. no clear-blue green or any other color

smoking them out is a better decision that totally blacking them out
it more so depends on the area u live in and the regulations there
the best thing to do is chek with the local authorities there and then go about it
