Fixit ticket help
Gah.. I knew it was coming sooner or later. I got one for my tail lights. 
But tell you what.. I've been pulled over couple of times and let go. Most of the officers didnt care about the overlays and said long as theyre visible within 500yards you're ok (others might not be so nice). This officer just seemed to be looking for something. Asked me about under my hood as well.. Oh wellll.
I knew I was gettin one sooner or later. I am thinking about picking up some new tails and just tinting them red like ive seen on some sti's. BUT I cant afford that right now. Anybody here know somebody that can sign it off for me? I have 30 days, If i dont get it signed then I assume I get a nice fee. I'd suck it up and take it if i wasnt tight on cash
Thanks guys

The campus police at Foothill College are pretty cool about signing stuff like that off. I can't imagine that stock taillights at a junkyard are THAT expensive

The vehicle code is very clear on what is and is not legal. Look it up, print it out, and take it with you when you go to get it signed off. Those do not look too dark...are they the light or dark smoke?
