Clear Tailights Legal in California???

[Mike's_Taffeta]

So the other day as I pulled into my parking spot at school, a motorcycle cop pulled up behind me, so I knew he was either getting me for my tinted taillights or was doing the "you are driving a highly stolen vehicle and just want to make sure this one isn't stolen"

So he comes to the window and tells me that my taillight tint is illegal. He said I can have all red tailights, or ALL CLEAR TAILLIGHTS as long as I have red LEDs. So I said to him "I'm pretty sure the clear tail lights are illegal" and he said nop they're legal as long as you have red leds.

He gave me a warning ticket instead of an actual ticket which was pretty cool. I asked a cop friend of mine if he knew the deputy that pulled me over and said yeah that he's an a$$hole.

I think he liked my decal which is why he wrote the warning instead lol.

Why do you even have tinted tail lights ? get some red and clear tail lights

Well, that's if they are the OEM all clear tail lights. Like the Lexus RX350.

I have ALL CLEAR sedan Tail lights and they're illegal as hell.

The tint isn't that dark, you can still see the red through the tint. It just looks dark cause its in the shade. My cop friend said that the tint isn't illegal and that that sheriff was just trying to get me for anything, but didn't have anything to get me with.

i always thought it had more to do with having a red reflector

Cause that's what I chose to do. I don't ask you why you why you perform felatio for money. That's your choice buddy.
