Q: I`ve noticed more and more cars with dark hues on their taillights, so it`s hard to tell when they`re braking, and dark hues or covers on their license plates. According to NCDOT and according to NC G.S. 20-129(d) it is illegal in NC for taillights or reflectors to be covered or obscured by a tint if the original red taillight discs or non-original transparent lens covers are in violation of this law.
