Missouri tail light tint law??
« on: March 25, 2010, 07:35:55 AM »
Does anyone know what the tail light tint law is for the state of Missouri?  I've read a few threads were folks will tint the entire tail light assembly and some tape off where the light shines through and tints everything else.  I'm pretty sure the light will shine through even though the entire assembly is tinted?
Thanks!

Mick,
Thanks for the link but it's for window tinting nothing to do with tail lights.

I'm pretty sure it's what Darren said. I know you see alot of vehicles on the road with them tinted but that doesn't make it legal.

Gotta love all black, when it is clean.  Keeping them looking good is a PITA!  That said 2KWS6, I love what you have done to your AV.   :thumbsup:

I know from experience that your yellow isn't easy to keep clean either. I always quick detailed the front of my Vette every time I drove it. If I didn't it was covered with black bug dots in short order.

Yeah, the mirror backs pick up a ton of bugs, and really show against the yellow.  Other than that, the yellow bow tie is the only other yellow area that is really hard to keep looking good when a little road grime is collected.  The critters collect as well on the "chrome" bow tie strip, but that is the same for all colors of AVs unless they have been painted.

Have you asked them if they will order the VHT Niteshades for you? I bet they would. How about the Internet; it's got to be available mail-order through something like Amazon. Don't forget to clear it after the VHT.

Here you go; the complete kit for less than $20:

Nightshades is the best thing on the market to use. No it is not legal, but it sure looks good on mine! AutoZone carries it I think. I got mine at KC Customs in KC. Not thepaint place, but the performance shop.
