has anyone gotten a ticket for having a bulb (taillight,corner/clearance,headlight) for being overally bright. can cops stop people for having there tail lights too bright? why is that?

 

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

 

do you or anyone have an a website whewre i can find laws on lights for cars, im in Virginia

geezus man. you and bulbs.

Change them, then see what happens. Most likely - NOTHING will happen unless cop is in a bad mood.

 

haha i know, im asking way to many common sense and dumb questions right. well i would rather ask then put something illegal on my car

 

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.

 

if its US DOT approved then it would be illegal

 

man, I'll put whatver the hell I want on my car...(bulbs)

I've got hyperwhites in my: front/rear blinkers - corner lamps (both of them) - xenon headlights,

and I get NO crap from anyone. in general.....

 

i got pulled over the other day for haveing white rear turn signals, aparently they have to be red or amber in illinois. but i still havent changed em. oh and just got 7500K HID's, probably get pulled over for that too

 

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)

 

Actually X5 have a probelm with their low beam shinging too high even with the self adjust head lights.

 

 

what about all those new mercedeces benz, audi and bmw with the blue hids do they get stopped?
