i didn't read the article but how is the judge saying the G8 lights are illegal. if he painted over his lights his SOL. we got pulled for having headlight covers on here in broad daylight. got a 5 day warning which was complete BS. told the cop I could just take the covers off right now and we could all go home. no no I'm giving you this warning and you'll have to take the vehicle to police station and get inspected.
you're not allowed to cover your taillights at all.

want ot make sure this reads correctly my warning was for HEADLIGHT covers not taillight. tail lights are never allowed to be covereed that I know of.

I give people with blacked out tail-lights a ton of space in case they brake and I can't see it. Been there, done that, almost ate a spoiler. NFW

I have LED tail lights, all my markers are smoked out, and my headlights have static cling precut tint on them. FTP

I thought black-outs were a late 80's/early 90's thing, but whatever.

This is newsworthy?

Is the judge saying all the tail lights for this vehicle are illegal? Or just the black ones that this dude had that would be illegal in pretty much every state?

Where in the article does it say he blacked them out?

It says he has stock taillights, and even brought in a dealer brochure, pictures of his car and the DOT information to show they were approved by the DOT.

Read the comments below the article.

Apparently, he wasn't being entirely truthful while whining.

The article doesn't say it, but there were pics of his car in the comments section. If the pic in the comments are correct, the article is misleading.
