no problem if a cop uses your lights for an excuse to pull you over anything else won't count. it's called probable cause.
if you're pulled over for your taillights, that in this case happen to be stock & legal, even if you just robbed a bank, on crack, w/ a fully automatic assault riffle, you're good.. anything after the illegal stop won't be admissible

Nobody they are from the factory and meet the req of being visable to 500ft on a clear day. Its the tail light covers that give people a problem because it covers up the back up lights,,thats the difference

cinque, your so funny.
Don't worry to much about being pulled for tinted lights. Most Cops are gearheads, and are way ahead of whats going on in the industry. If on the off chance you do get pulled, respectfully let the Officer know the vehicle is stock. If they insist on writing a ticket, smile, be nice, and take it to court. No need in being locked up for being a smart-a$$, which in itself is not a violation of the law. But, resisting arrest will get you to the crossbar condominiums. It may not stick, but you'll spend time in a place you will not like.

I still don't think we'll have anything to worry about.

I don't think anyone is going to have a problem showing the police that they're factory, right on the spot and not get a ticket. It might just be a pain in the butt to get pulled over (time consuming)
