Busted with DadsC63 contraband
I got popped by the Maryland State Police for my smoked tail lights on I-95 and have the dreaded repair order ticket. I advised the troopers (plural) that they were at one time DadsC63's tails but it didn't seem to matter. Will have to swap out. Apparently a point of emphasis now in Maryland. May have avoided the stop if I was driving with my lights on. Maybe some advise here for those of you who are "smoked."

There is no concept of a tinted % for tails in Maryland.
.
22-227(f) COLOR OF LIGHTS ON REAR OF VEHICLE - All lighting devices and reflectors mounted on the rear
of any vehicle shall display or reflect a RED Color, except the Stoplight or Other Signal Device, which may be Red,
Amber or Yellow, except that the light illuminating the Registration Plate shall be
White and the light emitted by a Backup Lamp shall be White or Amber.

Haha you thought "advising" the troopers that they were Dads tail lights would get you out of the ticket?
Haha Ah that's good stuff.
Pay the price. You modified your car with darker taillights...

They aren't that dark. They kind of look like the dark Porsche lights like on the Cayenne GTS. Next time just say they are "stock blackline/AMG/BAMF taillights" or something.

So are you still going to get rid of em? I have stock pre-FL ones and would be willing to swap you, even add some money on top. Let me know.

Exactly the same thing I thought, like the cops would be like "Oh ****, I'm really sorry about that, I didn't know they were Dad's" and instantly know all about aftermarket products lol. Guess you don't know if you don't try
