Default are these Smoked tail lights legal?

Hey, I saw some smoked tail light lenses on ebay:
eBay Motors: 83-93 Ford Mustang LX, GT SMOKED Tail Lights,Taillights (item 260031035091 end time Sep-19-06 15:03:46 PDT)

And was just curious if they are street legal, didnt want to buy something that wasnt... just assumed break lights had to be red? or atleast light up red? if anyone knows.. let me know - thanks

just make sure you put some red bulbs for the brake lights and amber bulbs for the blinkers and you should be fine. There are plenty of people around here that do that (not all mustangs) and they dont have any problems.

You'll have to check local laws. Each state varies a little bit.

like YoungBuck said chk your state's requirements, but I'm almost sure you'll need red brake lights and might even need some type of red reflector.
