I was having difficultly with people seeing me at night, so I blacked out my tail lights

Well if you had a badass car like that, you’d probably want to add mods too

It’s got brighter bulbs to make up for it though, right? RIGHT?

I have still never seen a BuyBuy Baby that wasn’t in the same strip mall as a World Market.

Who needs tail lights anyway? Always go fast en ough so that nothing can hit you in the back! It’s all about seeing where you are go.....

Shit/idiocy you have to deal with on E60/61 forums. The cars are getting cheap enough for the the real bottom feeders to afford a rough one.

As stupid as this looks, it isn’t terrible because on lower trim f usions like this one the blacked out part is just a reflector. All the lighting is in the middle. The top trim uses that as an LED taillight.

Blacking out any lights or reflectors on a car should be illegal in all states.

It’s still terrible, just maybe not as terrible, because those reflectors help make your car more visible to people at night.

Oh I’m sure it does.

IIRC it is, just nobody enforces it.

When I was in MI, I remember that it would be enforced as an add-on sometimes if you were stopped for something else.  But yeah.

And even during the daytime, too! I was in stop-and-go traffic on I-25 through north Denver a few months ago behind an Audi A4 with its taillights blacked out so much I could not see any difference when he was on the brakes.  None. In broad daylight. Unacceptable.

Yeah, you gotta wait for BMWs to get cheap before the real assholes start buying them. Thank god they hold their value so well...

I mean, it had working brake lights so that’s better than half the traffic on my commute!

Totally agree.

I wish there was an easy way to report stuff like this to people’s insurance companies.
