What is he to fight? He's modifying an object that's been inspected and approved by the DOT for it's function, once you change something on it the object is no longer federally legal. Car manufacturers and aftermarket companies pay alot of money and go through tons of paperwork to get each and every object approved for that little DOT stamp, just like the UL Listing on anything you own that's electrical or battery operated.Originally Posted by 95egex
There's only a few cars with legally tinted/smoked taillights, from certain editions of the Beretta back in the day to the 99-01 Saab 9-5's. If someone wants to send off a set that's been tinted and probably spend $20,000 getting it tested and inspected in a lab by the DOT then go for it
