Now, a LEO using just their own observation can ticket you for anything and the burden is on you to prove otherwise and in their defense I see the vast majority are illegal so I assume they just lump them all in as illegal. Same with the clear ones....if there are red &/or amber as required by law then it is not a violation either.
say whhaaaaaaaaaaaat!? You have more info on this? I have been looking to paint my bezels black and go dark on the lenses.
