Assuming is dangerous. Don't do it! Especially if you're asking for someone else to look into the law based on that assumption.

Just remember, not being ticketed doesn't equate to it not being illegal or improper. It's a judgement call on the officer's part on what his goal for the traffic stop is.
Putting any aftermarket lighting on a car (or modifying factory lenses) is always questionable in terms of the law, if not straight up a violation of it. Just like, technically speaking, any exhaust modification can also be viewed as a violation. It's the calculated risk that anyone who does these modifications takes. I would be hesitant to ever imply otherwise.
This is why personally, I keep the factory sets of any lights I replace so that if I do get cited for it, I can just swap them out and show it was repaired and get the ticket removed.
All that said, if you don't cause problems on the road, you won't draw attention. If you don't draw attention, things like this won't be an issue.
