    Default Fix Tinted Tail lights

    I live in the san fernando valley. Woodland hills to be exact.

    I tinted my taillights and got a ticket after a while.

    Anyways i need get the ticket signed off.

    The Ticket actually states "red reflectors" i stuck red reflectors to my
    bumper but the chip station didnt like that.

    Im just looking for someone to let me borrow their untinted taillights
    for like 15 mins so i can get it signed off.

    sanding is probably the best way to go unless you find someone locally... thats the reason why i left my tails a dark bloody red when i finished... didnt want any tickets... i would have thought the reflector thing would have worked though

    Its an 08. I'd pay the ticket off instead of sanding. I'm also willing drive somewhere close to a chp office if u live near valencia or pasadena or moor park. I'm also willing to kick u some cash.
