yea, i got several tickets for clear tails back before euro's came out and again for having hyper white(blue) bulbs in my corners. just replaced with factory, hunted down a cop and got him to right it off only to go home and reinstall all, with the excption of euro's now, but yea once they write it off your good unless the same cop stops you and remembers you, surely they dont keep records of such if you get it signed off on.
