You can be pulled over for everything you mentioned at any time after you install them.

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?

They are DOT approved, so they are fine. I have Tom’s. My reverse light is tinted, but also has higher powered LED bulbs, so they are just as bright.
I see nothing in the CVC that says darkening headlights or taillights is illegal, as long as the lights perform per the code.
