                  Then why even put them on the car yet?

                  Sorry, but those look awful.

                              Hmm. So what exactly is illegal? Smoking, reverse lights?

                              If its the smoking, then what about all red? Because I know there are factory cars out there that have regular one color tail lights that blink for turns.

                                Red is legal, smoked is questionable...

                                Cops won't bug you if light output is near good as stock.

                                Not sure of the ACTUAL rule though.
