This is for Florida. I don't know what Canada laws are but:
316.220 Headlamps on motor vehicles.--
(1) Every motor vehicle shall be equipped with at least two headlamps with at least one on each side of the front of the motor vehicle, which headlamps shall comply with the requirements and limitations set forth in this chapter, and shall show a white light. An object, material, or covering that alters the headlamp's light color may not be placed, displayed, installed, affixed, or applied over a headlamp.
Can't find tail lights but I know they are red illumination with 1000 feet visibility.
Most tint will cause it to be less than 1000 ft but 99% a warning is given unless you did something else to provoke an arrest. Was it an actual arrest or a citation?
