Few questions on blackout panels + window louvers

Are these blackout covers illegal to use in New Jersey? I know tinting is illegal, but is this?

and are these quarter window louvers hard to install on my own?
I know for all of these they give you the tape, but is this reliable and good?
Thanks

Putting tint or tinted covers over your brake lights is not only illegal in most states but very foolish. If anyone rearends you they could actually claim to not be at fault, if you had covers over your lights. You would be giving a drunk driver or texting nut a total break.
Save the covers over the lights for show only.
Headlight covers are a little different, if you're not in a state that requires daylight headlight use. Most cops will ignore them during the day but at night you will have to remove then, as you won't be able to see a thing.
For instillation of the louvers, just follow the directions right there on the AM page.
The key to getting the tape to stick is prep and temp. So make sure it's nice and clean and not too cold. Use the 3M red tape, as it works the best.
And don't bother to tint your rear side windows if you are going to have louvers on them!

The window louvers I still like. I just am undecided on black or red as of now. Leaning towards black to watch my wheels.
And I had no intention of tinting any windows, I just wanted to black out the back with the panels, but now I don't think its a good choice
