Got in an accident on monday. Body shop let me know it IS in fact ILLEGAL to darken or tint tail lights in any way. Guy was still awesome! He said that he wouldn't touch them, but had no problem with me ordering aftermarket lights. Toms are on their way

I'm sure if he wanted ugly a$$ TOMS he'd have gotten them. Prolly trying to be an individual and not like 90% of the other twin owners.
Now he has what he wants and he saved enough coin for a couple other mods.

Congrats on toms! Yeah that's true strictly speaking but tell that to people that tint their lights all black. At least the red is transparent and light still flows through. But in terms of red signal lights, that should be fine considering other cars have it

Thanks! I'm excited to get my Toms, even though @Mooseknuckle44 thinks they are "ugly a$$" lights. Out of all the aftermarket options, I think that these are the cleanest and the least "ricey" (probably why they are so popular)

As far as the "tinted red" lights are concerned, that is EXACTLY what I figured. Never had any issues and I have been pulled over with them (tint ticket ). They really looked factory, so I don't see them causing much of an issue with the popo.
