God but that looks good tho!
Thanks! I would put the LED's in first, then tint the lights. It shouldn't be much work to tap into the signal. Also, he only has white LED's. The bottom strip of LED's would blink, while the top strip would stay illuminated. Click on the link, you'll see how the LED's look while the signal is activated.

Got pulled over by a Eden Prairie cop this afternoon. Pulled over for tint. He said my front windows registered 43%. I know for a fact that I have 50% tint on the front windows. Since it's dark and cloudy out, and my windows were foggy at the time, they appeared darker then they really are.

EP cops seem to always be real ****. I drive on the straight every time I pass through there now. Cottage Grove is like that too. They just seem to have way more cops than problems.

Exactly. This cop was bored. Had nothing to do, so decided to start harassing people. He seemed so happy to pull me over. Grinning from ear to ear.

1. Which cop.
2. Did he give you a ticket? Technically the windows have a little bit of % from factory, so thats what brings it down. Don't you have tinted rear windows?? Did he say anything?

His name is R Hode. Don't know his first name. Drives a black charger. No ticket. Let me off with a warning. He measured the back windows and they registered 35%. He just told me to take the tint off.

Like the new tailights As for the window tint, Janik is right. Most every cars come from the factory with a very light tint. I had my G tinted at 30% and got pulled in Maple Grove. The measuring device said I had 25%. I just told the cop the dealership sold me the car this way he let me go with no ticket

The rear windows can be as dark as you want them to be i think. the law is 50% for the front windows only. I'm 99% sure of this!

Your 1% sure just proved you wrong. lol it is 50% all the way around on a sedan (NOT truck or SUV. Fricken stupid, right?)
Windshield No tint is allowed on the windshield.
Front Side Windows Must allow more than 50% of light in.
Back Side Windows Must allow more than 50% of light in.
Rear Window Must allow more than 50% of light in.

Janik is CORRECT! lol only suvs and trucks can have darker tint on the back windows now, sedans and coupes get screwed!

This is a law that I'd REALLY like to get changed and I wish i knew the Governor in person so i could actually ask him about it and see if theres anything we can do.

I'm actually half *** tempted to register my new car in ND so i can tint my rear windows darker and have a brow strip on the windshield. Not to mention the fact that taxes are cheaper here.
