[FC] FC taillight lenses

[J R Read_HML]

OK... So the 20 something cop that pulled you over (trying to prove to his 
boss that he knows the law) has NO CLUE as to what was original and what was 
not original.  You just need to sound convincing enough during THAT 
conversation about knowing that the original equipment (which you - of 
course - have on your vehicle) is legal.  This is how you avoid that later 
conversation - under oath - in front of the judge.

Later, JR
