Blacked Out ticket?
Are the stealth smoke taillight armor too dark that in the day time you could get a ticket for the brake light being hindered?

Yes, you can.
A lot of the laws are written... according to "Officer's discretion". Like here in Iowa, you get 1,000 different interpretations of the same law. Some officers will let you get away with it, while others nail your hide to the wall. |

I have mine blacked out with the kit from headlight armor and the lights are still very bright. Even at night, if you didnt know I had the kit on, you would not be able to tell

There's always some worthless jealous cop out there who'll write you for tinted tail lights. Fortunately, I've avoided it so far. Same for no front plate. Some things are worth a ticket though.

If you are going to smoke it out pass 20%, (usually 20 - 24%) LED tailights are preferred as they have a much higher diffusion rate compared to ordinary tailight lamps. Their intensity is brighter when braking and thus have a wider yield in distance legal parameters.
