ive gotten 2 tint tickets for my red grand prix and got a 30 dollar ticket for having the tail lights tinted...anyone else having problems like this?

can happen anywhere (I have gotten tint tickets and tinted tails are illegal everywhere) sounds like the cops are being picky around you, usually they don't stop you for either unless you do something stupid (tails maybe if they can't see them clearly)

I have out of state plates (perks of the military I guess) so the locals don't bother with me since my car doesn't fall under their tint laws.

Making you think twice before picking on Impalas

call your local Highway Patrol and ask what the visability limits are on tail lights. Got pulled over about 3 months ago and he said mine were border line. He showed me the state law book that has the guidelines for them and i think it was something like 1000ft. without brake and it lowers to 500 feet with the brake pressed. Checked later that week on a road near my house that i knew the length of. Could see them clearly at 1200 ft. without the brake. this guy must have been blind.

Not had a problem, course I have military plates too.

I don't have mine tinted yet so I haven't had any problems but I think cops may use the tinted tails as a reason to pull you over. They need a reason to pull you over and they may say that they did it because they couldn't see you lights but they were actually looking for something else going on in the car(drinking, open container, that stuff)

i got pulled over on my way to work last week.i thought 5% in the back and 35% in front was okay .he said there shouldn't be any tint in the front and light tint in the back.he let it slide but still ticketed me for the blown headlight which is why he stopped me.but i know one thing....they aint comin off!

I see you are from chicago and the tint law here is no tint on the front windows and windsheild, and as dark as you want on the rear windows.

oh okay.well i'll see how long i can keep it on till i get tired of getting tickets .what side u from?

Our law here is 35% on cars. No windshield allowed. I'm a cop and I wouldn't pull a car over just for windows. And even if I pull a car over that has illegal tint I usually don't say anything. It depends on the situation in my point of view. I would roll which ever side the officer is comming up to all the way down (front + back) and keep hands on the wheel. This goes a long way in my book. But there is always the "by the books" jerks that no matter what you do will get you every time. But for the most part it's just all in how the driver presents the situation. As for taillights, put some L.E.D. bulbs in and call it a day.
