Its illegal to remove the actual reflectors from a vehicle. Not having the reflectors means you have a greater chance that someone driving down the road at night may not see your truck until its too late because there were no reflectors to "flash" the light back to the oncomer.
Sure, there are some PDs, municipalities that don't care as much as others, but why take a risk like having someone hit you cause you took something off that was designed to be there for a purpose. Don't get me wrong, I really like the look of the NNBS with the amber reflectors removed, but the right thing to do would be to remove the stock amber reflectors if you must, then get some of the amber or clear DOT reflector tape, cut it down to a real narow ands rectangular shape, and put it somewhere on that side of the vehicle near to the headlight, like between the gap in the bumper and the fender. That way, you still have the proper reflection to the sides, but during the day, all you see is the cool looking headlight. Then your still legit, yet the mod looks awesome, so you have nothing to worry about.
With everybody so sue-crazy these days, I don't want someone hitting my truck, then suing me because I violated the law by removing the reflectors. Then Im at the mercy of the system.
