Case1906

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."

Where on 95 did they get you?

I have the same problem with MSP and no front tag.

I have no front tag and also live in MD. Been lucky so far.

Those don't look bad at all, whats the legal limit in Maryland?

Case1906

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.

WESLEY KAY

I bet they are attracted to it more because the white reverse plastic is tinted as well

Now get rid of those taillights.

I don't know.. I just can't stand smoked taillights.

chrisridebike8

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.

Not a fan of tinted taillights either. It lessens the brightness when braking.

AMG893

True

INS1GNIA

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

Interesting you got stopped for that, as I do not believe that tinted anything in MD is a primary offense.
