#Black out tail lights code#
If you’ve recently smoked your taillights and want to know how to test them to see if they’re within the vehicle code for your state, you should look them up first and then test the light output second. No matter which states that you are in, all tail lights must be DOT compliant. In the states where it is legal to tint your lights, you will have to make sure that you allow for the minimum required amount of illumination.įor instance, in certain states, the tail light will have to emit at least 24% of light with the tinting applied. Most car owners, who are looking to modify their vehicle, often ask, “Can you put window tint on tail lights?” The simple answer is that some states do not allow any form of tinting of your tail lights. Also, we will examine the various ways you can modify this part of your vehicle. Here, we will answer the legal aspects of modifying your car in this way. With that said, we see the value (and beauty) of tinting your brake lights and we know that it can be one of the unique ways to personalize your vehicle. No matter how you tint your tail lights, you should know that it is legal in most states as long as you don’t make them too dark. In each case, there are pros and cons as well as cost considerations. Tinting your taillights can be done in three primary ways – using film, paint or lens covers. However, the biggest difference is that the law is more favorable to tinting your brake lights – mainly because they’re at the back of your vehicle and the dangers are decreased if you “blackout” your rear lenses.

Much of the information is the same between both articles. We recently wrote an awesome article about tinting your headlights. If you have tinted rear lights can you legally drive on the streets, or would you get a ticket because your motor vehicle is dangerous?

Knowing that these were show cars, we wondered if this made them not street legal. They either had smoked lens covers or they had used paint to smoke the lenses. One thing we noticed on several of the supercars and street racecars was that the taillights, headlights and event the side marker lights (both amber light and white lights) were almost all customized. I’m not sure which it was or what it was for, but the cars were glorious. 2021 last time I was in Las Vegas, which was pre-pandemic, we stumbled upon a car show at one of the event centers.
