some places they are and some places the dont enforce them. i believe its illegal to modify the headlights or taillights on a vehicle unless its DOT approved, thats why APC has had a hard time trying to get those crapy euro lights to pass. plus black outs were cool quite a few years ago. it really does block the brake lights during the day when they are installed.

If they are illegal, most cops wouldnt even do a thing about it.

actually i think its funny, most people posted here was from alabama which means we saw them on everything, old body mustangs, the square ford rangers with the round headligths, and even minivans. its more of the wana be custom mullet redneck add on more then the ricer add on.

ive HEARD that they were illegal, not for sure...but i doubt a cop would do anything about them unless he already had u pulled over.......

it is illegal to have lisense plate frames on our vehicles and i had one and didnt know and i didnt get stopped until i was stopped for speeding.......and i ended up with 2 tickets.....the frame one ended up being $80...not worth it at all!
