Weasel will become famous soon enough
To each his own....

And I visited one of my best friends today who's a deputy officer, he said there is nothing illegal about them with the local or state laws, and wishes he had a car with similar headlights to do this to now!

I just can't wait until I have the time to clay bar and fully detail 'ol girl... she's filthy right now.

Why would it be illegel i dont get it. Whole bunch of new cars have factory smoked lights, even some old models of E36 come with them, or audi TT and some more. I mean police guys will not even notice it until you tell them: hey guys I put stickers on my headlights is that cool with you?

I am ordering it right now, but the one with less dark effect 87%.
Smoke (Light) Non-Protective Film: 87% Light Transmission
They even come with film for fog lights too.

you obviously haven't been to Virginia


my friend got pulled over for tinted headlights, tailights, windows, windshield (front and back), aftermarket exhaust system, having white turn signal bulbs in the front, and having an LED strip under the hood that 'emitted light through the grill" ... all at once!

This is exactly the reason why I haven't done that.

However, while I do think the chances are slim for being pulled-over for just the white bulb, your friend was kind of asking for it. I bet his vehicle is not really "subdued" and pretty easy to pick out from the crowd!

Don't forget the citation, or was it a fix-it-ticket, for tinted sunglasses. Bastards.

yeah i didn't want to take a chance with the white turn signal bulbs either. i will always take a chance with window tint though. how can people go without it??

i might one day consider tailight tint, but it would have to be very light.
I hope mr officer doesn't get mad.
