bluntmaster280 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I live in florida i was wondering if anyone knew if they were legal here or anywhere. Maybe foglights? I think it would look sick as hell to get a tint of red on my headlights. Thats the real devil z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumo Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Usually only white or amber infront and amber and red at the rear. Any other color lights infront underneath and at the back will get you pulled over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Like stated above.... put red lights on your car, other than rear tail lights/ brake lights, = expensive ticket.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK-Z Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I think its because its a distraction to other driver, either that or its, it has its own rule. Not sure about fog lights. They have those "Halo" headlights where you can have the ring be a different color, but the quality isn't there with those IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom'sZ Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 OK. I live in florida and can tell you for a fact, no red lights on the front of the car... period. bad idea lay off the blunts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280zx_sliding Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 well living in texas i know u cant have the headlights the same color as any emergency vehicle. i.e. red, blue. u also cant have strobing underbodies. as ive noticed it distracts other drivers and once again is illegal. what i would suggest is setting ur lights up where when u hit the brights u have another light that is red. that way when u wanna hang out or go to a show just turn ur brights on. my buddy did that in his galant with green and it is nice.

Dtsnlvrs Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Agree with above, pass the crack pipe this way and just get some nice H4s. Hell I would like to see HID's get outlawed in the states if they are not gonna follow E-code Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluntmaster280 Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 yea i think i might just go with red foglights that way i wont get pulled over all the time. thanks for the input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 You are not allowed to have red lights anywhere but the rear of your car because they are color coded to let other drivers know they are looking at the rear of your car. Blue/other colored lights are reserved for police and emergency vehicles, so applying those lights to your car is also asking for a ticket.

(goldfish) Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Check with the local authorities. Under certain cases, we can have a blue light by the tails in Mn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony D Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 this is how my headlights got when i bought a clear lens golf mkII headlight and where the parking light is placed i bought a green 5w lamp and connected it to a switch inside the car. I saw that photo and started laughing! I had green "city lights" in my car, and the Buena Park CA Police Department really didn't like it one bit. Long story, but they cited me for "illegal headlights" stating "it's for your protection sir, nobody will see you with green headlights"---this being beside the fact that the training officer made like an Owl and had his head pivot almost 180 degrees when he went through the intersection looking at my car sitting there... Anyway, I went to court, and it was thrown out as I explained the headlights were NOT green, the "city lights" went out when the main beam went on, and in the CVC (California Vehicle Code) they state clearly that the headlights may be any color when they are not on. This went to the definition of what "on" entails, and basically I brought out the point that the new Mercedes had an integrated running light with their new 300 series, making the "headlight orange" in the exact same way the cop defined my headlikghts as "Green". That, I think is what got it tossed. BUT, it also states in our vehicle code that NO lights projecting light to the front of the vehicle may be Red or Blue AT ANY TIME. Here, that can result in a vehicle impouondment as they have nicked ricers with blue and red strobes facing forward under "impersonation of a police vehicle" which is a big no-no! I would not run red or blue in any headlight beam, treading very close to a grey area that can go very wrong. But Green, that's cool with me! I gotta love anybody who has "Green Headlights" LOL Beating a cop with logic, in a court, without a lawyer...PRICELESS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
