Their legal, as long as you put reflectors on them

for those who dont know what they are...usually if ur altezzas dont come with em on, their in the box which u stick on....

I see that car all the time. I didn't think cops would drive into your parking lot and ticket you.

Those ones are really obvious though.

The police can make pretty much any exterior mod illegal if they really feel like it. Most of the times i've seen warnings handed out, if you are respectful to the officer nothing usually happens. That guy just caught some bad luck I suppose. Maybe had prior warnings or something?:dunno:

Can you get a ticket for being parked? The car's in a parking lot, not a public road, so how can that be illegal? Unless of course he just pulled in there with the cop behind him.

As far as I know, you just need a red reflector on the side at the rear and an amber one towards the front. If your altezza's or new fancy front projectors have them built in and there's a DOT stamp on the housing, then you should be fine.

For example, my JDM headlights on my integra are illegal, but if I put some sort of amber reflector on the side of them, or amber (reflective) signal on the fender (which in not going to do), then I'd be legal.

Its his opinion. Tail lights are personal preferences. IMO the stock ones suck too unless they are cleaned. I wouldn't shove on Altezza's but those stockers do suck ass.

Not all aftermarket Light's are Illegal... BUT they have to be DOT approved.... if they are... you can tell any cop to shove it! BUT if they are not DOT App. then you are takin' your risks.

If you get a ticket and have a DOT approved light's fight it in court and bring pic's of the light's with you. Just make sure that they have the DOT in the pic, and you'll get off scott free.. :D

(Speakin' from exp.) So remeber boy'z and Girl'z DOT Light's and it's all cool... :thumbsup:

Do you by any chance drive that red talon/eclipse?
If so, your car looks nice, saw it when i had my accident right outside of that parking lot, stupid old ladies... And IMO, stock 2nd gen integra taillights are nice.

because a lot of theives use forums like beyond (unfortunately) to scope out potential targets...so blurring a plate allieviates that a lil bit...
