Default New York Laws

I'm thinking about buying smoke or blackout headlight and tailllight covers for my 2006 black GT. Anyone know if it's legal in New York or Pennsylvania to have these covers or will I get pulled over and have to remove them.

Im going to say they are illegal in all 50 states. Ive had them on cars in the past without a problem tho. Its the tinted license plate covers that have gotten me in trouble.

Yeah, I don't think you should worry about your headlights or tail lights (unless they're broken), the cops around here are more interested in their money makers (your license plates). I was given a ticket for having CLEAR platic covers over my license plates, I have custom plates, so I was just trying to protect them! I see all kinds of mods on tail lights and turn signals (with white or blue bulbs), never seen anyone get stopped for those.

In Pa it is a no no,now most cops will not do anything unless they pull you over for somthing elese,but being for some reason they seem to enjoy picking on people with the new stangs they might just pull you over for it.

I work as a C.S.T. and I got pulled over for window tint in Lancaster Pa,he let me go but I was told if it would have been someone elese I would to have to remove it.

Unless he's an ******* you might just get a warning.
