Also, is tinting/getting a smoked rear bumper light illegal such as the Valenti? I know the tinted/smoked rear tail lights are illegal but how about the bumper light?

Non DOT approved lights are not legal anyplace in North America. That said, unless you have some really REALLY odd lights there are few cops that will go looking for that little approval stamp on your lights. If they are looking that hard to write you a ticket odds are you really screwed up someplace.
There is no legal requirement for the "bumper light" as it is actually just your reverse lights and a reflector. You can do whatever you want with it.
