There are ADR's with regards to luminosity of lights and reflectors. I suggest the ebay lights above would fail each test with flying (super dark tinted) colors. The add hints that they are not for street cars.

Chech with your insurance company before you do any mods, as this is the easiest way they can get out of financing your claim, if an accident occurs. Remember, Do you have the cash to replace your vehicle, if the insurance company declines your claim due to illegal mods???

I'm sure his tinted tail lights have an ADR number. Guess they're legal then :)



Really? So an OTR would void insurance as well?

If someone rear ends him, Insurance wont help him
If his motor blows up due to bad tuning after an OTR, insurance wont help him.


All that aside, +450 gay points for tinted tail lights.

Since when does insurance cover you for a blown motor?

but i thought if he tints his taillights and headlights then they cancel out his gay points?

i tried it on a spare set of tail lights on my old VS......for about 15 minutes. then threw the things out lol.

wen my VP got hit in the rear insurance covered my tinted tail lights and replaced them with new tinted tail lights, they were done with nightshades 1st by me and then done by panel beater after which was a much better result.
