Rear light question
I've got an appointment on tues. to take my car in to get tinted. I absolutely HATE when I see ppl who tint their cars and they cut around the rear brake light. I think it looks stupid as hell so my question is, how can I take it off? Is it possible to just snap it off or unscrew it or whatever so I can make it easier for the guys to install the tint on the rear window?

Its illegal to tint over the 3rd brake light. Most shops wont do it. My shop had no problem going illegal on the tint, but they flat out wouldnt tint over the light

how can it be illegal if you can smoke your tail lights wouldnt it be the same law you have to be able to see it from so far away?

You cant smoke your tail lights. If you get rear ended you will be at fault because your tail lights are covered

Never mind. I called the place thats doing it and asked if they would do the whole window or cut around and he said whole window. I too only heard that as long as the light isnt diminished from the tint either 3rd brake light or the tail lights then its perfectly fine. I have no idea where you heard about any tint being illegal...

On the vehicle I drove before the C5 the tint shop tinted over the 3rd brake light. It still lit up enough.
