The squinting eye side effect would qualify for a medical darker tint requirement, I'd think...
Haha I don't know the ins and outs, but I know that was the situation.

Edit: Just read what you have for mods; most likely your HID headlights.
I don't think HID headlights are illegal. Certain color temperatures are illegal I believe. Newer fords and import cars come stock with HID headlights now. FX4's, Lariets, & King Ranch models all come with an option for angel eye projectors with HID's I think.

Just was reading through liftlaws.com and it says only commercial vehicles are required to have mudflaps/fenders in NYS. Since my vehicle is not registered commercial being that it is only a half-ton pick-up, I am all set on the flares.

It's not that bad. Backing up to a trailer is fun but I've got a camera now. I'm used to it I guess. I'll my vehicles are done the same even the work truck

Now today, I was going down the interstate....DOING THE SPEED LIMIT....and a trooper went to pass me and decided he needed to pull me over and slap me with a tint ticket. He used the tint meter and it read around 16%.......It was a traffic infraction, and I know it won't cost that much...but you think I should pay it and keep them? Or just be done with tints? I know that you need at least 70% light transmission in NYS but it's a little ridiculous....I know I can probably get the ticket dropped if I go to court and show them pictures of the tint removed, but frankly, I like the way it looks on my black and grey SCAB FX4.....any suggestions? If I go legal the most I could do is 70%.....which looks like garbage in my opinion.

Don't take this the wrong way. PLEASE DONT. ok with that sad. U got the tint knowing one day this will happen. I don't know how your state is but here in Vegas, its not that bad. I have NEVER owned a car that did not have limo around the whole car. I had a show car I built and I had that thing retinted like 8 times. No I am not lying. plus the front windshield twice. I has in a car club and I just bought a roll and had my buddy that was a tinter do the work. If I pulled it off. That stuff sucks. As you know. Here in Vegas you just pull it off and they write it off. Ya its a pain but o well. Its the life you live having the car you want. I guess. My truck now has limo all around and nothing on the windshield. Until next week that is. I am doing it then. Do you have to pay a fine at all? If not just pull it and have it redone and move on. That's my thought on it. O and your tuck does look good with the tint on.

I wasn't smart with him or nasty in any way. He just tested my window, went back to his car and wrote me a ticket. It was kinda weird now that I think about it. And I always thought that tint tickets were fix-it tickets. Guess I was wrong... :-(
Believe it or not, 1: tinted tails 2: tinted windows 3: trim ring around rear license plate and 4: exhaust. In the state of NY you can be written a citation for a modified exhaust that makes it louder. But like I said, I don't bust peoples ***** for that stuff unless they are total smart asses. My truck has tinted windows, louder muffler, no front plate and the inspection expired March of last year.
