At night you can clearly see the taillights so it shouldn't be a problem.Hope you don't get rear ended with those dark lights.
I'll try to take a pic tonight.I’ve never seen tinted tail lights before...that looks sick!!! Can you post a pic of what the lights look like when they’re on?
How do they look in the daytime when the sun is shining on them? I commute eastbound in the afternoon and any car with tinted tail lights is much harder to see. You don't notice the brake lights in those conditions unless you consciously look for the light. No bueno.At night you can clearly see the taillights so it shouldn't be a problem.
It would turn a slam dunk claim into "shared negligence" at best, unless the rear ender just assumes full responsibility, which could realistically happen.Hope you don't get rear ended with those dark lights.
It's illegal here in CA too for a good reason. They make your lights works less effectively - no arguments can be made here.I would do this if it was legal to Tint in PA. cops around here are a bit tough but seems to look good in pictures.
You hide your license plate but you need to:So this is what they look like with the car on during the day and night.

No matter how dark someone’s tail lights are, the vehicle in front of you gets bigger as you get closer ?It would turn a slam dunk claim into "shared negligence" at best,
If so, it's unfortunate that somebody could partially obscure their tail lights and not share the blame for getting rear-ended. Tail lights have a function and it seems to make sense that if you diminish that function intentionally, you are being negligent.VA codes define visibility of lights from a certain distance.

I did a quick search for Virginia and found 19VAC30-70-150 (I have no idea if this is current). Grounds for rejection during a saftey inpection include, "9. The vehicle has wire, unapproved lens or plastic covers, any other materials that are not original equipment or any colored material placed on or in front of rear lamps,
