never got pulled over for having them, but it doesn't mean a cop won't write you a ticket for having them.

i had my not even nightshades just like light smoked actual tint. I got pulled over for speeding and the officer was a ***** so he said im going to give you a repair order for you tail lights also...because they werent "stock"...lame especially cuz he admitted that he could see light fine. His excuse was..."well in the fog the light could be not visible"
