I'm thinking the real issue is that they are probably not "DOT" approved (as are the factory lamps). At issue is whether or not they would pass / qualify for such Certification.

It's not a matter of wether "you can see through them." It's the fact that they reduce light output from the intended design. Most, if not all, taillight covers ship with a disclaimer that states: For off road use only. Or something similar.

Nothing sectional about them those pieces go behind them maybe to make it look sectional. That's what I'd love to know cause they are nothing like it shows. In the picture not even close

we get it, some of you guys don't like tinted covers! Thanks for another post on this thread regarding this, so very helpful. Also do you not realize that most of these don't really affect light output?! Especially with new LED taillights, And I can say this first hand, as well as many of the other people that post this as well.

And I suppose you're going to tell me that sunglasses don't affect the amount of light to your eyes or that tint doesn't affect the amount of light entering the cabin either. I wonder why tint is rated for percentage of light filtered out.
It's not that I don't like them, they're a safety hazard, and there's a reason they're illegal just about everywhere.
