Im prettty sure Cali is the only place that would hassle you on JDM tails. South Jersey is pretty lax w/ their rules, well Cherry Hill is anyways...

 

Not my area they have been cracking down on tint.. I only have 35%.. u can see in the damn car!! So stupid..

 

I've had my JDM tails for about a year now, no problems here. The cops probably don't even know the difference. They are DOT approved. They have amber blinkers just like the rest of many car models here in Cali. Just saying.

California Vehicle Code Section 24953: Turn Signal Lamps.
(a) Any turn signal system used to give a signal of intention to turn right or left shall project a flashing white or amber light visible to the front and a flashing red or amber light visible to the rear.
(b) Side-mounted turn signal lamps projecting a flashing amber light to either side may be used to supplement the front and rear turn signals. Side-mounted turn signal lamps mounted to the rear of the center of the vehicle may project a flashing red light no part of which shall be visible from the front.
(c) In addition to any required turn signal lamps, any vehicle may be equipped with supplemental rear turn signal lamps mounted to the rear of the rearmost portion of the driver's seat in its rearmost position.
(d) In addition to any required or authorized turn signal lamps, any vehicle may be equipped with supplemental rear turn signal lamps that are mounted on, or are an integral portion of, the outside rearview mirrors, so long as the lamps flash simultaneously with the rear turn signal lamps, the light emitted from the lamps is projected only to the rear of the vehicle and is not visible to the driver under normal operating conditions, and the lamps do not project a glaring light.

 

Oh I didn't know they were dot approved..

 

LOL @thirty-five...
I'm looking into changing my plate lights too... ill have to change them anyway, seeing as only one bulb's on..

 

Haha yeah i feel ya, i had 35% on my Z and it was useless, the only time ppl couldnt see inside is when it was hella dark outside. and cops still had the nerve to hassle me about it! so i just said screw it and went 5% on the G lol

 

ya

 

Cops will pull you over regardless, but if you're lucky you can get by with a "warning". Cali cops are full of $h!t.
