its not just cali man, think SAFETY! Why would you put something on the only warning that alerts the guy behind you that your stopping?

its one thing to be dumb, but to get on a forum and write about it?

People are ridiculous.

I don't know if yours is legal or not - probably not. And if not, I'm sure you know it's not. I also trust you will not be a whiney offender when the day finally comes for your ticket(s).
Yup, I take mind on where I drive (some towns more strict then others) and I also follow the other laws on the road to not stick out more. So far no issues and if I do get a ticket I'd expect it. May post something like hey look at this but probably not on here though.

I still want to install my front plate some way so I remove one excuse to get pulled over since they like to look for that in Ohion

The blacked out tail lights look cool, but if your following a car with them they suck.

Have any pics of your tail lights? I have an extra set that I may have lightly tinted professionally and add some Oracle afterburners to them.

Righteous! A little to dark for me but nice contrast on that summit white. You have a photo/video of you hitting you brakes to see how bright they are during day and night?

Hey man, if wanting a safe road means I sound old, then sign me up for a gold watch 40 years early.

The problem I have is everyone my age, not just the morons, take a hit respect-wise when a moron goes off and does something stupid, so to be fair, it's less about you and more about I'm tired of hearing about stupid crap with people my age. You don't hear about 40 year olds being reckless when some guy crashes his vette, but you sure do if a 20 year old does it. It's a stigma that we, the 20 aughts, need to work to change. Not expect everyone to suddenly just approve of our so-called maturity.

I doubt I can change anything, but what's the harm in trying. At the very least maybe someone will get a new perspective on something.

+1 Stupidity is age-less, and age doesnt determine maturity. There are immature 20 year olds just as there are immature 40 year olds. Might be alot more immature 20 year olds / "Kids", but not all deserve that title.

Blacked out tails illegal? Mine came like that with blacked out tails, side markers and bowties? I just assumed it was like that factory?

I also want to add that I have the brightest LEDs in my taillights that I can find.

My markers are as bright as my brakes were without the tint. With the tint my markers and brakes are still brighter then factory look incandescent bulbs.
