^^Not sure bout Ohio, but in Ga. someone would be about 6 feet deep in the *** of that truck in about the first 15 miles on the interstate! I think they look awesome man, but way too hazardous here on these Mad Max style freeways in my state where half the drivers are either texting or eating or etc...

Yea i refuse to run tinted tails anymore, too much risk, people are sue happy and having tinted tails ain't the smartest idea. i will stick with my harley tails.

its illegal to be on the phone while driving in Ohio now law is more-so about a red reflector on the rear of the vehicle.. 3rd brake light works just fine also anybody hits me then they will LOVE the repair bill on my truck

Don't be so sure! I have a buddy that got rear-ended that had tinted tailights and the officer found him at fault! The hit was more under the truck then it was in the middle so the plastic from the tail lights stayed in place with no damage. Cop gets there, driver says he couldn't see my buddies tail's and there it is...black *** tailights! Go figure, but it happened. He ended up having to pay the deductible and got dropped by his insurance company...sucks, but he learned from it.

just do them just so they look a deep maroon color, take a look at mine in my gallery, obviously not stock, but a slight tint to take the redness outta them, they are harley tails, not tinted but you get the idear.
