In the past in palm beach florida we would get stopped by cops constently. Now that every honda owner in the county has them and we got rid of them no one gives a s*it. We started the light thing in palm beach and then got ticketed so everyone else could enjoy. Of course according to Florida state Statutues these lights are still illegal. HEHE

If you don't think it is illegal think again. Look at your State statutues and you would be amazed how many things are illegal.

Cops can do whatever the hell they want. That's how most cops are.

bottom line is that yes it may be illegal. but it comes down to the cop's conclusion if he/she should pull you over for it or not.

Cops would ignore hyper whites, clear corners, xenon and most other lights upfront (except those really blue headlights). What they have little tolerance for, is clear tailights, and rear turn signals.

Those must be either red or amber in almost every state in the continental U.S.

Messing with taillights is just another way of saying "pull me over", it also mandated by the DOT that tailights be red, turn could be either red or amber....

Yea, I reckon I'm going to put hyperwhites in my car for one reason. Those asses who drive on the highway with their new BMW X5's and refuse to turn off their high beams when I'm on comming. Would be really good to just flash them, blind them and make them fall off a 5000 foot cliff (not really but that's how much it ****es me off)
