Hey guys is it illegal in NJ to tint your tailights and side markers?

 

no i do not believe so. Infact i think on the can itself it says "For Off-Road Use Only" I still tinted mine tho

 

here in texas i think the lights have to be visible from a certain distance b4 it becomes illigel

 

i hate road laws.

 

Yea its illegal in NJ, along with everything else (window tint on front, front licensce plate) haha.

 

local laws differ from state to state. some states out west could care less but east coast seems to be much more strict. you can always ask an officer just to be on the safe side.

 

you have to be able to see red in the reflection in texas.

 

Donna wats the law for ny do you know?

 

Go to the local DMV and pick up your states version of "rules of the road." Then you can get all the traffic laws, what you can and can't do to your car, and so on. Then there will be no questions asked about this and you know where you stand and how the law reads. Plus it's free.

 

i found this on some site....but it doesnt really specify
For New York's laws, go to the following site then browse to the Vehicle and Traffic Code, Title 3, Article 9.
http://public.leginfo.state.ny.us/me...MMONQUERY=LAWS

some states allow them if the AMBER can be seen from 50 ft. away during stopping.
i dont see anything real specific for NY but also found this:

§ 376. Lamps, signaling devices and reflectors on vehicles. 1. (a) It
shall be unlawful to operate, drive or park a vehicle, except a
motorcycle operated during the period from one-half hour before sunrise
to one-half hour after sunset, on any public highway or street in this
state at any time during the day or night unless such vehicle is
equipped with signaling devices and reflectors of a type approved by the
commissioner which are in good working condition; or to operate, drive
or park a vehicle, except a motorcycle, on any public highway or street
in this state, during the period from one-half hour after sunset to
one-half hour before sunrise, unless such vehicle is equipped with lamps
of a type approved by the commissioner which are lighted and in good
working condition.
(b) The commissioner of motor vehicles is hereby authorized and
empowered to promulgate rules and regulations with respect to lamps,
reflectors and signaling devices, their number, type, design,
construction, location, attachment and use on vehicles being driven,
operated or parked on any public highway or street in this state. In
promulgating such rules and regulations the commissioner shall be guided
by the requirements with regard to lights, reflectors, signaling devices
and associated equipment on vehicles of rules and regulations
promulgated by the United States department of transportation.
All lights, signals and reflectors shall be of a type and design
approved by the commissioner. No light having a candlepower rating in
excess of thirty-two candle power shall be used on any vehicle, unless
it is of a type approved by the commissioner. The provisions of section
three hundred seventy-five of this chapter governing the approval of
equipment and the adjustment of headlamps shall apply to the equipment
and headlamps required by this section. The commissioner is hereby
authorized and empowered to adopt and from time to time amend such
regulations not inconsistent with this section, governing the size,
type, construction, location, and use of lights, signals and reflectors,
including the exemption of specific vehicles from the requirements of
this section where the construction of such vehicles makes compliance
herewith impracticable, or impossible.
