Of course I can't speak for everyone, and yes, in Florida, troopers are strictly traffic enforcement for the most part. 10 years as the popo and I haven't bothered with lights being tinted yet. If the radar kicks out a 20+ speed violation, I stop no matter the color or car. But, as always, I understand your perception.

I've got EXTREMELY dark tint on my headlights...
been pulled over numerous times, have cops drive past all the time.

Tint is illegal here in NE too from what I've heard.

I had a state trooper give me a ticket for no front plate, but he didn't say a thing about the headlights..

For everyone giving him crap about his grammar, remember that the OP's primary language is french.

I'm pretty sure they use periods and commas in the French language too.

Here's a random thought...don't do illegal mods to your car. Know the laws, and obey them...you won't worry about cops that way.

Thx roush05, First time i got pulled over, it was for a low speed
Acceleration on a boulevard, he gave me a ticket for "reving engine" and said my tailight aint legal not because we dont see them, but it is reflecting!

But he wrote it on the computer and so any others cops
get the info if they write down my license plate, that damn highway cops the info so he pulled me again cause he saw the info. So next time
It a 150$ ticket, gotta remove the tint seriously suck tho. All my markers and 3rdight brake are tinted to. Id need to fit 2013 tail light on my "06 :/
