Do you ever get hassled by the cops for your tinted turn signal/marker lights? How did you tint them? They look bad ***

every state is different, In arizona, as long as you can see your lights day or night from 300-500 feet you are golden. I have 3 coats of VHT night shade, and they are thick coats and i am fine. You can clearly see my lights shine thru. So no hassle =]

I believe most state are the same, No tint allowed on head lights, and marker and brake lights must Reflect And/Or shine red/amber/yellow depending on light. and like i said above with the distance thing

i just use the stock alternator but i took down and sold all the lights and the rack to pay for more crap.

heres the most recent pic i have of it



and the new intake



i love this intake setup. i can feel it and with the free flow exhaust, bored tb and spacer, its faster and louder. beat a 5.0 mustang tonight haha. my jeep was bogging so i gave it a little gas to keep it from dying and suddenly i hear the car next to me rev it. he gave me a look and said "damn you got a turbo in that thing??" (tb spacer makes it whistle like a turbo) i was like nope and he was like damn. light turned green we both gunned it and i slowly pulled away until we got to the speed limit haha.

almost got in a wreck today. some a-hole in a camry pulled out infront of me and i locked up the brakes. unfortunately i knew he was gonna so i slowed way down and had prepared (old *** dude that could barely see over the steering wheel). but realized now with the new intake, i can fit my train horn and compress under the hood! woohoo! putting that in when i get time.

How did you mount the 2 pillar lights? Just drilled in the brackets or were they like the lights in police cars?
