    Newly manufactured tail lights

    DPI will sell brand new tail light assemblies by the end of this year:

    I’m assuming that unlike the 3D printed variety these will be DOT compliant.

    Technically they would need to be DOT compliant to be utilized on a vehicle registered to operate on American roadways. This is good news!

    Right, but one of the local hobbies here is to have taillights which are out; and probably don't get fixed until your yearly inspection. I doubt anyone's paying attention. especially not on a
    DeLorean.

    Agreed. Nobody's looking at a 40+ year old car taillights for DOT related issues.

    However in a reverse case that I just remembered, I got pulled over in California for having a tail light out - I was literally
    pulling into the auto parts store to get a new bulb. But even then, it's not like the cop was gonna be looking at the
    tiny writing on the lens.

    Are all those silver “euro” taillight lenses I see on pickup trucks dot approved?
