Hey guys, I got pulled over the other day for illegal tint and having blue LED bulbs for my license plate lighting Anyone else get hassled for dark tint? And I thought it was only illegal to have blue/red lights on the front of your car?? The cop told me i cant have neons on the car and I said they were only Blue LED bulbs that replaced the old dim factory bulbs. Anyone know if this is true??

How blue are they? Couldnt you argue they are bright LED that give off a hue? As for tint...didnt think cops gave people a hard time for that in AZ, after all this sun sucks. What is your % tint?

You are allowed only white and amber lights up front, amber corner markers on the sides, and red and amber lights in the rear. Anything else is technically illegal. Rear facing white lights are only for reverse lights and license plate lights (must be white). Sent from...somewhere? |

No ticket. The cop issued me a "Equipment repair order violation" form and told me i have 5 days to fix both issues.(not sure what happens if I ignore it) I tried explaining that they were only LED bulbs that were blue and actually illuminated my plate better than the standard bulbs. He said no they are Illegal But I cant find anywhere that states having different color license plate lighting is illegal?? My tint is 10%. |

There is a limit to how dark your tint can be in the front. A cop made my brother peel the tint off the front windows before he would let him leave about 11 months ago. Most tinters will give you a reciept saying you fixed it to take into court though.

I used to have 5% dark black all the way around on one of my old black cars, but since I got tired of being hassled for it-- so in the last 6 years Ive run varying hues of ceramic or metallic 15-25% film on all of my windows, no problems at all. Ive been pulled over in the FRS about 7 times since I bought it (all for speeding, go figure) and never been questioned once about my bronze-ish 17% film. I believe in arizona the law 'technically' states that your front side windows must allow atleast 25% of light to pass through, and there are no restrictions to the darkness of the film on rear windows.

As for the windshield....you are not allowed to have any tint on the windshield. Most tint places won't do it, some will but say they aren't liable of you get pulled over. On my Trans Am, I had 45% on the windshield and 5% rest of the way. I never got pulled over for it, but I would always roll windows down if I was driving next to johnny law. So if a cop wants to you can be pulled over and given a fix it ticket for dark tint. Also it's the cops discretion on the lights and tint if they feel like stopping you....most dont care....but some do. If you get a fix it ticket from the lights and feel you are not in the wrong take pictures of the lights amd present them to judge. I got out of a ticket for not having license plate light because one of the 2 lights was burnt out. I took pics of my one still working LP light and showed Judge. A funny thing that happened was the cop wrote on citation that I had no LP light, but the code for the violation he put down was for having wrong colored tail lights....The judge said he clearly sees red tail lights, yellow turn signals, and a white license plate light and that there is no violation here. So he dropped the case and even called the officer out for writing wrong violation down. The officer that ticketed me was sitting behind me before the judge came in and I overheard him telling another cop that this is a waste of time for him and how "these people" just need to show their receipt for what they had fixed. When he pulled me over and brought me out of car I asked of o could show him how one side of plate has a light but he just wanted to harrass me about my tattoos. Then brought k9 unit to search my car and said its standard procedure. Bull....ive never had k9 unit on any standard roadside pull over procedure. They didn't find anything because there was nothing illegal in my car....yet they said the K9 was "hitting" on the bushes next to my car, and they asked if I threw something out my window. Stupid cops were right behind me and my window was up. They would have seen me if I did. I said i have nothing to hide and to search the bushes of they want. So since they couldnt get me for anything they gave me the ticket for no LP light. Now who wasted who's time here? Moderninktattoos.com
