Order the lights. They'll probably come in a box that will say DOT and SAE approved. Keep that box in your vehicle.
If you get pulled over specifically because of the lights, show the nice officer the box.
You could also keep a copy of the Texas Transportation Code with you. Specifically, Chapter 547, Subchapter E, Section 547.322d which states:
Quote:

A taillamp shall emit a red light plainly visible at a distance of 1,000 feet from the rear of the vehicle.

This is specifically for "taillamps," which is the normal running light condition of your brake lights when you're NOT applying the brakes. When you are applying the brakes, they then become "stoplamps" and are subject to the next section of the code (e) which states:
Quote:
A stoplamp shall emit a red or amber light, or a color between red and amber, that is:
(1) visible in normal sunlight at a distance of at least 300 feet from the rear of the vehicle; and
(2) displayed when the vehicle service brake is applied.

Other than that, I don't know what to tell you.
