Guys, I don't know if any one of you have a problem with
5-0, but they keep busting me with the clear side markers that i have. What are the rules and regulations for coloring of side markers ? I just have the clear whites, with blue bulbs.. Those punks, I also have a court date in a few days, someone point me to the source, so I know exactly what "i can and cannot do". ... ... ...

 

I think white or amber in the front and rear for the rear, but

 

I think white or amber in the front and RED for the rear, but



i think thats right


Kev watch ur spelling! ur supposed to be the model poster here

 

You keep getting pulled over becuase they are illegal. Each state has RCW that states what is legal in your state. One trip to the library a 1 hour of reading is alot cheaper than all those tickets? You *might* be okay if you replaced your blue bulbs(illegal) w/ orange ones.

 

Oops! Lack of sleep will cause problems. Thanks!

 

If you do a quick online search, you should be able to find the Vehicle Code for your respective state and all the regulations should be in there. For Cali, the front side marker bulbs has to be amber. Good luck.

 

hmm.. wut are u doing awake at night so late..

 

hehe

 

Just search on the web for the vehicle codes for your state.

For California, you can go to:

www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/vc/vctoc.htm

Then zip down the page to Division 12 - Equipment of Vehicles. That section should tell all of us California drivers what's expected on our cars by law.

Happy reading!

 

Thanks fellas.. I hope i win this one..

 

Dude, there is NO way you are going to win this one, the rules are very clear cut. In every state in the Union, blue lamps are for either emergency vehicles or constuction vehicles/slow plows. IF you are from NY, which I am assuming you are from since you are Representin NY, then they are only allowed on your vehilce if you are a volunteer firefighter, and even then, you are only allowed one in the FRONT of the vehicle. You are going to continue running up these tickets unless you change the bulb. Go to court, but dont expect to win. Sorry to tell you.

 

Played Gauntlet with Jane and played Tokyo Xtreme Racer Zero (see OT forum for more info on this game).

 

Actually, I just did some research online, and for those in NY area.. it is legal do have a white light ( the color of my side markers, with a hint of blue, but no where near, fire truck or ambulance blue), as long as it's not blinding. I WILL win this one, have them take it up the ****... =)

 

lemme get the link to it cause i wanna see it too cause i got stopped once for my YELLOW ORIGINAL fog lights so i wanna see what the rules are... thanks

 

my rear turn signals are white with a hint of blue. BUT there only blinding if you look at them? because in the day time if there weak then i wont be seen, but at night, i can be seen very far away. what do you think i should i? i am scared to drive at night and signal except on the highway, people let me pass and back off

 

Actually, I think I'd rather enjoy something like that...

 

In California, legal is amber in the front sides, and red in the rear sides. Front and rear turn signals does not matter, reverse has to be white.

 

I've looked up online if it's legal in my home state (pa - which is where the car is registered) but I live in new hampshire most of the time. so which states codes do I go by? If I go by PA's, does that mean that I can get in trouble in NH if I get pulled over? thanks

 

Searched the Illinios page and this is what I found...

RUNNING BOARD LIGHTS: These are limited to one on each side. They must be nonglare white or amber lights.

COWL or FENDER LAMPS: Only two lights are allowed. They may be nonglare, white or amber lights.

What's are running board lights??

 

I believe that you have to abide by the laws of which ever state you're driving in regardless of where your home state is.

 

isn't PA laws REALLY REALLY strict? and the po po's there are big (_O_)'s right? more than normal places...

 

Bingo, but you can use the "I'm visiting" defense in court usually.

 

heh alright thanks for the help...
actually I have no clue what the cops are like in PA only because I've never been pulled over (knock on wood). I'm actually sort of suprised I haven't gotten pulled over for my license plate lights which are the polarg hyper white which are actually pretty blue-ish. heh oh well.
