no he was like well get that off ASAP some one could rear end you and if the police gets called to the accident its your fault because how could some one see your stopped with those blacked out lights. no ticket just like a person to a person warning.

it sucks a ove my black tail lights. I ordered LED ones like a long ass time ago and never got them. some one tolod me about them they where like 13.00 bucks so i went for it. if i ever get them ill paint them up real nice.

paint thinner probably wouldn't be a good idea on plastic taillights. how thick is it on? and is it clear coated? if not, you can probably just scrape it off. or swap someone for non-tinted tails.

I would swap some one but if they dont live in pittsburgh that means I have to wait for them to get here and I cant drive with out tail lights ( just asking to get pulled over). Plus I would hate to trade some one for some tail lights what if i get there tail lights and what if they get mine and are not so appy with them. I would feel terrible.

You guys must have dicks for cops cause I have had mine tinted since last summer and even been pulled over but they never said anything about my tails. And If you look in my gallery, you can see that they are pretty dark.
