hey you live really close to me! i live in the cartersville area.
anyways ive seen a few cars with blacked out tailights and dont see people getting pulled over for it, but let me warn you, the kennesaw college's campus police are VERY strict and are far from forgiving for little things, my sister goes to college there and has had two hefty tickets from very minor violations.
hope to see you on the road some time!

BTW i just replaced my JBA mufflers with the FRPP/Borla Stingers. I know that most of the people on this thread in GA are running V6s but If you are looking at converting to dual pipes and want some JBAs cheap. I got a pair.

I'm in Alpharetta... even though there is a 300ft test, why give the cops more reason to stop you?

(b) Every brake light shall be plainly visible and understandable from a distance of 300 feet to the rear both during normal sunlight and at nighttime, and every signal light or lights indicating intention to turn shall be visible and understandable during daytime and nighttime from a distance of 300 feet from both the front and the rear. When a vehicle is equipped with a brake light or other signal lights, such light or lights shall at all times be maintained in good working condition. No brake light or signal light shall project a glaring or dazzling light.
so does that mean that sequential turns are illegal too??

Since you arent changing the actual bulbs or making their brightness different.
no
All you are doing is changing their sequence. Or rather, adding some rather than on/off.
