So what your really saying is that if you get into an accident-- do it big and make sure there isn't big enough pieces of your lights to tell that they were tinted? haha j/k

All joking aside, you do have an interesting point.

You might check out Lamin-Xcom they have vinyl tints for your fog, head and tail lights in some different colors, I used the blue tint for my fog lights and like them very much, they looked great JMO

Incorrect. Even if your had no operational taillights at all and someone rear ends you its their fault automaticaly. The driver that hits you will be sited for, "Following to close". Thats the law. The reason is that your brake lights can go bad at anytime which is not your fault, however you as a driver behine a car are responcible to keep a safe distance from the car in front of you at all times so in the event of a brake light failure you will be able to stop in time before making contact with the car in front of you.
