im thinking, a light tint (30%) is fine and within limit not to get pulled. Im currently debating my self weather to tint the reverse lights & front markers/get clear corners..

I have not been bothered about the clear corners.. but tinting your other lights will most likely get you noticed..

I would avoid it...some small things just aren't worth the possible hassle.

I have the light smoke lamin-x on my rear signals and front reflectors and never even get a second look. Light output is fine.

I highly recommend against the tails and Headlight. Signal and reverse sure...

It's not about your visibility. It's other people's visibility of your car as well as police being douches and will think say it's not legal.

you probably wont get pulled over, nor will cops likely notice. Lots of cars have darker tail lights on special models etc... If you have LED tails, i don't think it would effect the visability of your car as well, they are pretty bright.

If you did get pulled over, just remove them and don't put them back on. The reality is, if you don't speed, drive like a jerk, look like your 19 and a street racer or do other stupid things you could basically drive anything.
