316.224 Sub section 3 says "All lighting devices and reflectors mounted on the rear of any vehicle shall display or reflect a red color"
Please don't get me wrong. I like the look on your car. I'm not trying to give you a hard time bro, only a heads up to avoid a $73.50 ticket if you can avoid driving in front of an officer. Most police probably don't care. Around here it was just a reason to ticket the crazy kid racers who were acting stupid on the road to boot. That mod is more unique now so the initial furvor has probably died down and you would not have as much attention. I know I have some mods that could get attention!

I know your looking out for me, if I gave another impression it was not my intent. The way I see it.... RED Tailights only need to be red when lit. I'm hoping that intepretation as well as the 6 officers living on my block are correct. If not i'll bite the bullet and pay the fine. Either way, thanks for looking out for me.
Bob

Thanks for the compliment. I painted the rear with Duplicolor Black Bumper Paint. Very easy mod for under $10.00

Now that's different.  Very clever use of the clear and red. I like it. I will get the 3rd brake light in clear shortly.
