Blue WHAT? BEARIN?

Well Im going down this street (Regal Row) and this is where alot of people race so this cop turns behind me and it was 1 am he pulls me over and is like were you going to the races I was like umm no. He tells me I have a headlight out!!! (it must have been out for a whole 15 mins cause I didnt realize) and that the windshild nozel lights I have on my car are illegal saying they are blue and I was like ummm no they are hyperwhite and hes like I could see them from the street and they are blue. He wrote on the ticket blue bearin or something like that?!?! So I got 2 tickets for BS! Does anybody know if hyperwhite is illegal? I thought it was for turn signals but not for washer nozles does that mean headlights too?


confused

Get rid of your washer nozzel lights. Cops hate them, there illegal and best yet, if there even close to blue you can get screwed BIG TIME. They do nothing more then attract cops to your car.

Exactly.
Also, don't make your car look like a christmas tree.

Yes, but if you put orange bulbs in them you shouldn't have any problems. When I got mine it came with a big sticker that said they were for "off road" use only. Ha!

In WA State, ANY Mod on a car is technically illegal.
I just found this out...as of 5 days ago (Jan 1st).

I guess that means the "Tornado Air" thingie is even illegal!
Or a GTR Badge!

I hate WA State....Fascists.....No liquor except at government controlled stores that close at 6pm, no drinking past 2:00am, All bars MUST serve a full menu, taxes at 8.9%, a teen dance ordinance, sound laws are 20 feet, etc...etc.......and King County cops pull you over if you're out past 1:00am no matter who you are.

OK, I'm done ranting...sorry.

Those nozzle lights are ghey-->

It's like those tire valve stem lights. I would just take them out, go to court. The judge will probably throw the case out if you told them you go rid of them. Take some pictures to take with you to court or arrange a meeting with the cop. This way you will look good in court.

I'd have to agree, don't try to fight this in court cause in the end you will get burned. Your best bet is to just be polite, and ask the judge to be leniant on you since you got rid of the lights and fixed what needed to be fixed. My sister is a city prosecutor and gets cases like this all the time. In the end you will lose, so your best bet is to try to be reasonable with the judge and hopefully he'll give you a reasonable sentence.
