i did VHT on my side markers and corners but i got covers for my taillights because when i go to get it inspected i just take off the covers and dont get any ****... no one really notices the corners and reflectors...

u can pick up some covers at autozone for 50 bucks... they might have to order them for u tho...

I use the AVS Covers on the tailights so I can remove them if necessary - allthough, I've had quite a few State & Local police behind me and they never had a problem with them...

Inspection doesn't care about them either (I leave them on), I just don't want to permanently spray paint my tailights using the VHT.
