Okla Rams

Well I got pulled over for the first time today. The cop said I didn't signal and my taillights were to dark. I thought Oklahoma didn't really enforce that? Anyway no ticket but he told me to slow down to cause I guess I take a turn to fast at school. Luckily he was cool about it, guess I better watch out around this small town

They will enforce it, but I've never seen them pull someone over FOR their tails. I assume they would if they were crazy dark, but it's one of those things they will enforce while they have you pulled over already. You got lucky.

Your 16 and in a small town, you can count on that not being your last time. Sounds like you acted the right way, but remember when it happens again just keep a good attitude about it and be respectful and 9 times out of 10 you will get off with a warning---unless you are way over the speed limit, doing something stupid or you've been pulled over by the same guy for the same thing. In those cases 9 times out of 10 you will get a ticket.

I had a friend that was a reserve deputy in Lincoln county and they look for any equipment violation so they can run you and your passengers for wants/warrants, and look for guns and drugs; so tented tails are an equipment violation, and an invitation to be pulled over anytime a cop feels like it. So if you keep your taillights the way they are make sure you and your passengers are on the straight and narrow every time you get behind the wheel.

Damn I just keep having to pump money into this thing for the small things like lights. I don't want to buy the ebay crap again, they're overpriced anyway. Is there anyway to get the tint off my lights now?

sand clear and buff

ramthis9501 · 10-13-2011, 07:49 PM

What grit of sandpaper?

Okiespaniels · 10-13-2011, 08:31 PM

I'd try scratch x first without the sandpaper.

My first attempt at tinting my mirror signals didn't look as good as I hoped. I wet sanded with 1000 grit and they were super smooth and it took off all the spray tint. A little clear and they would have been back to normal.

I have some 800 grit, so I guess I'll do that tomorrow
