But these look nicer than tinted tails, also tinted tails are illegal in a bunch of states, so (heaven forbid) you get rear-ended and the person decides to say they couldn't see your brake lights because they are tinted... it could go against you.

These are DOT legal

I understand, but if tinted tails are legal, whether you can SEE the lights or not the person can probably win the argument.
