Keep in mind you might get a fix-it ticket for these. If you do, what are you going to do other than replace all the lights? I would never do this where I live!

The paint looks way better than the acrylics, but the "fix-it" would be EXSPENSIVE.

As grimlock points out, here in Cali, it's too risky. It's not a matter of if you get cited, it's a matter of when.

I know guys in my car club who have two sets of lights because of getting ticketed. To me the blacked out look doesn't look that much better for me to think it would be worth the hassle. And I don't want to give the police any other reason to pull me over.

I, on the other hand, really like the blacked out look, but refuse to do this mod due to the PITA factor also.
