Smoked tail lights in California?

Are they okay in Cali, or is it a risk to do them?

The mods I've done don't get me hassled by the police, but are there things that will? Any personal stories?

I got pulled over for my windows being tinted, as well as my tails being tinted. I only got a fix it ticket for my windows though.

Dumb ___ cops have nothing better to do them pull people over for crap. We pay for them to do this type of useless work. I feel bad for the cars that are riced out, they get it the most.

I've been hassled for mine, although he didn't write them up, so they are still smoked. I did pull the smoke off of the headlights after that, tho. And the last time I got stopped, the cop mentioned the plastic cover over the plate was illegal, but didn't say anything about the tails...
