So if you were to smoke your two tails, you would still have the 3rd brake light and line of fire to classify as two brake lights.

Technically no. If they tried to ticket you, you would win in court. The law states that a vehicle must have at least "2" visible working tail lights. If you added a line of fire, you're truck would have 4. The two tails, 3rd brake, and line of fire.

From my connections with the local PD, they won't accept the line of fire as taillights. They say you have no chance in court using that as a defense.
Also, as ramracing4.7ltr has basically stated, it'll be up to the cop's discretion, but if he tickets you, you're going to have to remove the tint/cover to get it signed off or pay the fine. So, in that case, it may be safer to go with covers than tint.

I am surprised to hear that. Did they give you a reason that the line of fire wouldn't count? It seems like it does the same thing as the tail light just in a different configuration.

Should have specified that that applies to down here in Central Texas. Williamson County is full of a bunch of hard a$$ good 'ole boys. They'll find a reason to stop you if they feel like it.
