    i mean don't the rear lights have to have a red reflector or something? ... or is it just A reflector? i know that clearing your corners in the headlights are illegal cuz you have to have an amber piece in the front.

    I don't think those ones are legal because there's no reflector. To make ur car legal you would have to put reflectors on the back bumper like the Mazda 6 and the is300 have.

    true... they don't have a red reflector on them... however, if i use that 3M red reflective tape and place it in a position similar to the lexus is300 would that be ok?

    the mazda6 and lexus have rear red reflectors ont he side below the taillight BUT they light up though.

    Technically they are not legal because there are no reflectors within the housing.
