Morimoto Tails, legal? [emoji51]

Anyone know in PA? Law seems to only point to smoked “covers” from what I’m reading.

Not sure on law but I can imagine that as long as they arent hard as crap to see no issue. I'm in ohio and have had completely black tailes for 2 years no issue.

For example I also run 5% tint no issues. My wife got pulled over in the middle of bfe for it just because he was bored basically said he tagged my truck ***** been 18 months no more issues. I say do it. Also side not have you seen the thread about those? Seems to be a lot of issues with them. I bust my right rear and looked at them as a replacement recently. After all I read I went with cheap xtune smoked tails. Look exactly like my current ones and I've never had issues out of them. The do block most of the reverse light though so I got a opt7 because dim light +5% over the factory privacy glass in the rear = cant see **** behind you at night lol.

I’m a huge critic of Morimoto but it appears as if most issues with the rear lights were around incorrect applications.

They may be so but at almost $500 I was like nah lol. I did just notice the ones I bought say offroad use only but let's be real so do long tubes. Tunes and everything else we enjoy. Hell once I finally get my wheels on in the next week I'm sure the 5-6" past the fenders is illegal but wtfc *****

If you buy aftermarket lights and they are "DOT compliant" then they are legal to use even if are a smoked lens color. Some manufacturers put that the lights are "DOT approved", that is technically not the same as compliant.
If you modify a DOT compliant light by tinting then it not longer meets the requirements. Chances are you won't be pulled over for a light compliant issue unless the cop is a major DB or your doing something stupid.

Good info.

I don’t know if I’ve ever seen any after-market DOT compliant labeled stuff [emoji51]

A friend of mine got ticked recently on the Penn Turnpike for tinted tails (F150), but the tint was heavy, so not surprising. Funny enough, we saw a Subaru with slightly tinted lights fly by when we were pulled over. Go figure.

I'd think the smoked Morimotos should be fine if you dont add tinting to it.

Nah, no tinting being added. Just how it is.
