Hey fellas, just bought VHT for the rear of the car and just wanted to make sure that it isnt illegal. I went on MI. Road laws and it says as long as it still emits red light for 100ft im fine. The light still shines through righttt? Thanks! [will post picks later] |

Look forward to seeing pics. i actually bought some for a different application. i didn't like it for vehicle lights because it had a flat rather than glossy finish. You may want to try it out on something else (i.e. old flashlight) before using it on your lights just to see if it's what you want. This may also help you determine how thick to go w/the application. Good luck. |

Test it on something first. Nobody had it around here so I ordered it over the net. The can was defective and was spitting out the paint. What a mess I had. Now I have to sand it all off and say the "H" with it. Terry |

Your post said something about a car? I hope you're not referring to this Jeep because it would be a shame to kill a cat and all. |

The reason you will get pulled over and ticketed is it eliminated another very important DOT rule: the tail lights must reflect light. When I was in the rice-rocket game back in the day when all the cool kids were putting "Altezza" tail lights on their Honduhs, thats how Johnny Law thinned the herd. Looks super cool though, brings be back to the 90's when they sold those plastic black covers for the headlights and tail lights. |
