Got pulled over today because of clear tail lights. Cop said the red was not "Red Enough". Can anyone suggest what bulbs to replace with?


Thk,

Wait, what? Are you saying that you got pulled over because of your STOCK tail lights? If that's the case, you don't need to do anything except fight the ticket if you got one. I would hope that this isn't the case, because if it is then that cop is a complete moron.

However, if you have those eBay clear tails, I say just get rid of them. They're ricey, in my opinion, and your car will look a whole lot better and keep you out of run-ins with the law without them. If you're deadset on keeping them and using different bulbs, peruse eBay for some red LEDs for the tails. They should take care of the cop's issue of them not being red enough.

 

i've had the same problem with mine. infact, i've been pulled over twice because of them. i wasn't fined because i told the cops that they were bought online and when i asked the company, they said it's street legal so they warned me just to change them. of course i didn't listen, winning. but my advice is to try coloring them, painting them, or putting that clear red paper over new bulbs to see if they'll hold. why waiste money online when they might not work right.

heck, you could even just use them until the bulbs burn out and then sell the tail lights.

 

O that cop was being a ***** r u serious... What city/state is this????

 

I have some that I'm about to use red tint on...along with a shade of light gray smoke to go over that. Should suffice.
There's a thread on here about using the red tint. I bought mine off of fleaBay.

 

Were they the all clear aftermarkets? Or the Clear stocks?. I've gotten a ticket for the aftermarket clears but not the stocks.

 

i'm still unclear if you have stock or aftermarket tails. If it's stock, Waxima is right that come just wanted to meet his quota for the month.

 

On the stock, half the lens is red inside the clear housing so you had to have been pulled over for aftermarket taillights.
