Went to the police station today... (sort of long?)
#1
Well after getting pulled over with the warning a few days ago about my headlights, I changed them and went to the police station today. I talked to the guy for a while and he was saying that because they didn't come standard on the vehicle, they may not meet the legal standards for headlight output and type. He made it sound that if someone did anything to their car that wasn't factory, then they could be pulled over for it. So I asked if lowering one's car is considered illegal... he said that basically lowering a car, could potentially scrape on the ground which would make it illegal. This all seems like BS because that would mean that if we did anything to our cars, it could be deemed illegal. But it doesn't seem that either something is legal or illegal... it seems like everything is questionable. UGH. ok sorry I'm done venting now.

That's a big load of poo-poo. By their defination:
1) If you change tires to other than stock brand/size = illegal.
2) If you go to Midas and get a new muffler = illegal
3) If you to to Midas and get new shocks = illegal.
etc, etc.. etc...
But that doesn't excuse you from knowing the law and how it pertains to your vechicle.

good point.. very nicely said
my friend got pulled over for the washer lights once, and the officer told him it's illegal to have his foglights on when it's not foggy out!! we were like WHAT!
i think they make a lot of things up assuming that you won't go out and check for yourself..

wow that sucks about the foglights... are the washerlights illegal at all?
BTW, where could I actually go to find out what's illegal or not? The cop I talked to at the station gave me a HUGE run around and didn't know where I could get one. Thanks

my friend put blue ones on his '98 Jetta GLX, but now they have all different once, including Altezza-like ones..
I dunno if i would put them on my car, but to each his own..

still thinking about the washer lights, i wanted hyper white ones to match my head lights but wasnt sure how bright they actually were. on the subject of whats legal and not, basically you cant have any blue lights inside or out that are noticable to other drivers.. something like they are reserved for emergency vechiles...and red lights in the front.. any other color including white shouldnt be illegal. so if a cop tells you its illegal, just act like you didnt know even tho you know its not illegal. if you make him feel like a bunghole, he'll write you up a ticket

well there's 2, one on each side of the bumper
they add 5-7 HP per sticker
you get the maximum amount of HP when you combine these with the maxima.org stickers, however

The police often don't know what they are talking about specifically with all the laws that are out there. However, most people won't put up an argument with them because they are cops. That's why we need to aware of our own respective vehicle codes as drivers. Just my $.02.

Anyway, blue color lightbulbs means you are asking for troubles tho. One thing for sure that anything emitts a Blue color is illegal in any state.

Yah the funny thing is no one knows what is legal or illegal I mean saying whatever is not STOCK is illegal is in fact and I quote "Poo-Poo". I mean look the VW's come with clear white blinkers with amber bulbs, but hey thats illegal where I come from, WTF! I mean the funny part is that no one in COnnecticut at least cares or wants to about whats legal or not, I mean I called the DMV to check some stuff and no one knew jack!!! So I think it would be benefical to make a handbook of this stuff ::hint::hint:: lol,
Damn tires too bald....ticket....New Tires (not stock cause there new) also ticket cause there not stock HAHAHA BULL $HIT I SAY!!!!!!!!! THE PO-PO's SUCK
