Has anyone ever had any trouble with the law about having the black out lights, especially in VA?
Member
Never had any problems with mine. I get pullded over all the time for other things like speeding, and they see the blackouts and dont say a thing.

the blackouts are illeagal...but heres a funny story. i was drivin up through springfield mass and on my way a tropper gets behind me. i have three guys in the car and doing 65. he throws on his lights and pulls me over. he gets me for the following: my buddy not having his seatbelt on in the back seat, traveling in the left lane, traveling too fast (what'the?), no front plate, and then walks behind my car. i am like 'doh' the blackouts. he comes back and tells me my license plate cover is illeagal becuase it reduces the reflectivity of the plate....its practically clear compared to the blackouts!! anyway...he gives me a warning for like $175 worth of fines. but it cracks me up that he never said a word about the blackouts and picked up on my plate cover instead....dumba**!! but for the record, the blackouts are illeagal in every state too....but no problems yet, its been 8 months. and i have had plenty of cops tail me here and there....but no problems yet.

Okay, what about the Blackout spray from Summitt. Is that considered illegal?

I am sure that the spray on stuff would fall under the blackout category too. I say go for it though. I put blackouts on my Z about 7-8 months ago and the cops have not said a word. I know they have seen them cause they watch my car like a hawk, just waitin for me to screw up. I think it might be the flames that that grabs their attention

I think it all depends on the cop. I've seen cops look right at them and say nothing, and I've seen cops make people take them off on the spot. Either way it would really surprise me if you got fined for having them. So if you like them go ahead and get them.
