Best thing to do is just to google that citation number and see what kinds of info comes up and maybe try to develop a strategy, you might find a post from some other site where a person fought that particular citation successfully.
Other than that, your best option is to just show up in court with some photos of your lights and show they're not affected by the tint. You have to be able to sway the judge somehow. If it's just a simple fix-it ticket try to talk the cop out of it.
check the state law. I know when I did it I checked. it was 75 feet visibility at day required and 200 and night. Mine are visible at a bit longer distance than that so I know I can fight it if some cop decides to challange the law with a ticket lol
Never had an issue though with that. Like I said. check the state law. You can find most of those on the DMV website .or a link to them

In CA, tinting your lights is illegal- no matter how slight. Besides being a truly stupid mod (you want people to know you're stopping right?), it's a simple fix-it ticket out here. I think you're stuck paying the fine.

If the lights are smoked correctly, its not going to change the color of the light or make it less obvious you're braking. I'd even argue that black to bright red is more noticeable than red to brighter red.

You can get aftermarket smoked lights and several Mercedes Benzes and VW's come stock with smoked lights.
In some states you're not allowed to alter the light, this is a catch all for enforcing laws like 75 ft day 200 ft night.
Politicians are too lazy to make the law smart or reasonable. Mercedes can smoke their lights but you can't for no good reason.
