Wow, I'm shocked to hear that and I visit you in my G like every week... I'm gonna start avoiding the cops like the time I drove around with 1 yr old expired license tags
Ne'ways, I'll take those lights off your hands if you don't want them anymore although I still think you should keep them on, it's only a warning so there's no harm done. When they give u a fix-it ticket, that's when you start to worry, oh yeah, sry for not picking up ur phone calls because I was in class

The statement I quoted is specifically referring to the bumper lights and sidemarkers...

As for whether you get a ticket or not, like with tint, it's up to the officer whether they want to bother with it or not.
