Question

Are smoked tail lights legal in Georgia?

Answer 1

i don't think that they're legal.  i've seen some lights that were smoked like you're talking about, but most of the time it's best to have a third brake light as well.  when i was in japan, it was fine, but i had a light in my trunk lid as well.  you definitely don't want to get rear-ended, but how big of a difference would it make whether or not the brake lights are 2 or 3 shades lighter?  that's up to you, but you don't want to break the law, right?  you can have your car in a car show with smoked lights, but can't actually drive it on the road.

Answer 2

they are illegal in ga but u can get away with them until hit you!

Answer 3

In Michigan, the law requires a tail lamp to emit a red light plainly visible for at least 500 feet to the rear of the vehicle.

The law also requires stop lamps to emit a red or amber light and be capable of being seen and distinguished from other lamps for a distance of 100 feet, including during normal daylight.

If the cover you apply prohibits the lamp from meeting these requirements then it is unlawful.

I could not find Georgia's law on tail lights.

Contact the Georgia DMV and ask them.  They will have the exact answer.

Answer 4

No. The national safety requirements set the standards for lights. This is federal not state and applies nation wide.

Answer 5

There not legal anywhere. What you want to get rear ended by someone on their cell phone because they can't see your brake lights. There bright red for a reason. Covering them is just being stupid.

Answer 6

The law reads the same for all states, headlamp and taillight covers are illegal, they reduce the intensity of the light.
