I'm impressed that you can't tell that there's vinyl over the light. I thought for sure you'd be able to tell during the day or on a side view.

No, but the car may not pass State Inspection.

Why would it not pass inspection? Plenty of cars have red turn signals. If it's an issue with brightness, then swap the bulb for a brighter LED one.

Because it's modifying a mandated safety device. Just like having blue dots in brake light lenses. As I said it's best to check state laws.

Unless they are purposely looking for it or are active ClubLexus 4GS forum members, inspectors probably wouldn't even know that it's "modified." It looks OEM.

In all my years of having cars inspected I have yet to see anyone look at my tail lights I don't even remember them looking at my head lights the only thing I was ever asked is if I had a check engine light,,,
