I would THINK any modification to the tailights or headlights that hasn't been approved by DOT isn't street legal. The chances of anything happening if you do is very slim though.

Hey dude i lived in Virginia my whole life and VA is real strict on car mods. When i had my tail lights smoked the only thing thats still had red showing was the reflector portion of the tail light, because i got pulled for having them completely black. You have to let the reflector be visible.
