Tinted and or smoke taillights and headlights

Maybe it's me, but I typically associate rice with rattlecan mufflers, huge wing spoilers, underglow, and badly done lambo doors.
I'm having a hard time seeing how tinting out one's tail-lights would be considered rice.
But hey, if you can show me one that proves me wrong, the more power to you.

As touched on in this and past threads, if there is a 1,000 feet rule in Texas (and I think there is) one should consider what that means. Let’s say the average car length is 13.5 feet. Allowing for a few feet between cars, that means tail lights would have to be still visible the equivalent of 64 car lengths ahead during the day. That would be a tall order for most smoked tail lights. So not only is safety a factor here, but I would expect any insurance company to deny a rear-end collision claim made by anyone with this mod.

If anyone calls being concerned with safety being easily upset, then they must belong in the group that thinks whatever I do to my car looks cool even if I ignore safety...
Plenty of times I've been behind cars with tinted tail lights that you could barely see when they brake in front of you...it's not cool.

I don't think the G35 looks that bad either.
Safety is a whole different issue. This is just FYI for those of us who are in Cali - the general rule of thumb is 1,000 ft.
V C Section 24600 Taillamps
However, I have heard of people being cited under a different code.
