They are the only reason I haven't done mine. I did all the side markers. Here we can get a 250 ticket, so I'll pass for now. lol.

I'm getting the feeling we have life easy in michigan when it comes to mods. No annual inspections, things like window tint are free for all except front windows can't be tinted, although it's pretty rare that anyone gets any flack for it, unless it's really limo tinted or something. As far as I can tell, the only law we have about tail lights is they "must be clearly visible from 50ft" which is a pretty easy mark to hit.

The only time a mod as gotten me pulled over was my tinted license plate cover was too dirty to see my plate through. Cop thought it was the cover until I got out and wiped the dirt off. Didn't realize it had gotten so bad back there... He also thought my front windows were tinted because when I rolled the window down you could see a little line of dust (it was at night) similar to tint film.

Anyway, nice job on the tint!
