Is lamin-x legal?
#1
Surely someone has looked this up... does virginia law make it illegal to apply yellow lamin-x to headlights? i'd like a permanent track solution... and the yellow is just kinda baller. Tongue

My guess is that it isn't legal at night. Same as "GTS" headlight covers.

psh look it up yourself! That's what she'd have to do :bootyshake:

I think VA law doesn't allow anything when it comes to covering headlights/foglights

i looked through pretty much every car law and couldn't find anything regarding tint of headlights. all i found is that light transmittance needs to meet numbers that i'm pretty sure my car already doesn't meet.

As far as i know, you can't have anything obstructing the light at all, tint, covers, you can't even have a grill guard on a truck that has anything directly in front of the headlights, and pass inspection.

FWIW I passed inspection two weeks ago with lamin-x on my foglights and cling tint on my turnsignals, but I have no answer to the headlight question.

on a side note, I had the inventor and owner of Lamin-X as a student at VIR about a year ago.

foglights and headlights are totally different things in regard to the law.

NTIman ninja editted, and had said foglights and makes my comment irrelevant, oh well.

That must be in regards to aftermarket soltuions?

Buell uses a headlight grill on the Lightning City Cross and the Ulysses models from the factory.
When it comes to Ryan Jenkins, the story ends with me putting him in the wall.

Yeah, aftermarket products that cover the light are what I am talking about. I'm still not sure about Lamin-x though. I can't imagine it being legal, but I also can't imagine it being a big deal.

bj said his smoked stuff passed inspection... i'm not so sure the yellow would, though. i can see it, though "yes officer, that was on my car when i got inspected; i asked and the guy said he thought it was legal"
