Just ticketed for OEM tail lights.

XXX haha that brings back some memories! I saw that Zombie action via youtube... Effed up to say the least.
Update:
The cop contacted me and and said he'd toss the ticket if I went to get the tail lights checked at some local Inspection garage.
I just hoping these inspectors have looked at a few FD's...

So another update:
I went and had the car's tail lights inspected at a shop of the ticketing officers choice. If the shop passed the lights, he'd tear up the ticket and otherwise I pay.
The head mechanic or owner of the shop thought they looked tinted but could easily see the SAE + DOT stamps. So, to be sure he called his "good buddy" the head vehicle inspector for the middle section of Island I live on.
Im sweating now... I have a questionable part or two on the car that may not comply and I dont want his "good buddy" going through my 7 with a fine tooth comb.
He shows up 15 minutes later in RHD 660 CC subaru mini tow truck. I thought here we go...
Turns out he's checked out a few FD's in his day and is an old school gear head. Plus his other close friend and mutual aquaintance of mine used to race fd's and other rx7s back in the day. So after an hour of B.S.ing about this and that he calls the cop and leaves a message regarding my car saying the lights are perfectly legal. I haven't heard back from the cop yet so that will be my last update if he actually gets back to me.
