I was pulled over a few weeks ago in Columbus (OH), with my clear tail
lights on...they ripped me about my tint, the windshield banner, no turn
signal (why they pulled me over, oven though I had it on), tinted license
plate cover...blah blah blah. they never said one thing about my clears...
:) however I have removed them to save some pennies... you need to get it
reg as commercial, then all laws are out the window... hell they'd leave
you alone with no tail lights at all!
