I get followed around a lot by cops in my tC... but I am also rockin' wheels, I am really low, and a cf hood hatch, plus the smoked tails. It's a flashy looking car and it grabs attention. I have never been pulled over because of my tails though. I think there is a law about how far the light has to emit. It's like 50feet during the day and 200feet at night or something. I really have no idea... but if you are worried about it, buy brighter tail bulbs and drive around with your headlights on all the time. I always turn mine on when I am being followed by cops, just so they look that much more red. I dunno if it works really... but I do it! haha.

I have had my taillights smoked for about 6 months now and I haven't had any problems. I live down the street from the cop station also so I am constantly in front of them and so far so good .::knocks on wood::.

Whittier. The cops in Whittier will problaby pull u over. Theyve got a new "anti race" profile...if you got a a/m spoiler, exhuast/muffler, multiple gauge pods, or race sticker roll calls you can bet your ___ they'll pull you over. They didnt care for my blue LED turn lts or HID look headlights, they really werent happy about the loud music..and burning out , well that was just an added @*&^ you. But at least Huntington Beach cops are calming down.

Haha, Whittier... I haven’t had any problems with my exhaust *knock on wood* and I've been thinking of smoking my taillights as well.

And it might not be all of Whittier, but if you ever plan on going down Gunn... make sure it's in broad daylight and you're on a tricycle... I've heard many a stories of people getting pulled over on Gunn.

That’s the price we pay for living in... Whittier?

And K-i-s-s pm me when you get them done, I'd like to know where and $$$ and if it looks good!
