I searched but didn't find anything.


Anyways. So i was in a fender bender with my acura legend and the front headlight is scratched up and such. I was already thinking about getting smoked headlight covers for it, so i figure this way I can get them and not have to get a new headlight at the same time. Covers cover scratches, bingo; two birds, one stone.


Anyone know if these are legal here in VA? my tint is illegal (35% all around) so I don't want to get pulled over and then get owned for headlights+tint. that would not be fun. Here's a pic so you get the idea.



They're on ebay as well but I was going to get them from a forum member of Acura-legend.com.

I'm pretty sure its illegal to do that in VA. There was a guy that had them on, and every time he wanted to drive at night, he took them off. I don't know why. When my brother first got his bronco, a cop pulled him over to let him know his lights were dim and his alternator might be going bad.

 

what if I got brighter bulbs?


I did a quick google search and it said that you have to be visible from 200 ft but I dont know how accurate/descriptive it really was.

 

ANYTHING over your headlights is illegal

 

its official.. VA sucks.

 

I had someone saying he looked through the vehicle code, and didnt see anything about films over the lights, i.e. direct application.

Dunno the truth to that though.

 

I doubt the covers, or physical tinting of the headlights is accepted. You're best bet is to call or ask a state officer, or go to an inspection station and ask to look through the "approved lighting equipment" of the book.

VA state law:

It's ether illegal during the day, or up to discretion.

 

i tinted my headlights once and it sucks at night cause my headlights looked as if it weren't even on. might work good with HIDs though

 

That's all about motorcycles there bud.

 

yeah, i found that too^
