I was just wondering, i have had my balls broken by the feds twice in the last little while. I have h4 housing with yellow bulbs, NO YELLOW TINT. It was my understanding that it is illegal to tint your headlights but other than that you can have yellow, white, or arctic white(blue-ish) bulbs. I asked the cop to show me in writing what im doing wrong and he just kinda gaveme the runaround and left without writing a ticket. The first cop a few weeks back was a bitch and wrote the ticket anyways.

I have been told by shift_ka24det that they are legal as he used them in his s13, i have also had numerous other son members they are legal including 2g, and multi sync…

i just wanted to get some other members opinions

thanks

I painted my DRL bulbs yellow and did the “keep the DLR’s on all the time mod…”. No hassel, but I think it dosen’t matter what colour they are… but I could be wrong… Oh well jdm tyte!

cops are fucking stupid

one pig told me fog lights were illegal to have on

im like WTF

hes like turn your fog lights off

im like are you fucking joking me right now?

the effectiveness of yellow bulbs in the snow/rain/fog has never really been proven

france had yellow bulbs mandatory for all vehicles for awhile… then they switched to white

i forget what ontario law says about it… one day maybe ill look it up

10

thats what they tried to say to ‘twotone-twoforty’ last night on the way to my house

the yellow’s get him pulled over once in a while

but yesterday he was pissed off by the cop saying “fog lights ARENT supposed to be on in this weather”

my friend said “those are my headlights”

the cop responded “oh okay, well im going to give you a ticket”

my friend said “I already have one of these tickets, and until you show me this law on paper I wont accept the ticket”

The went back to the car, 5 minutes later let him drive off…

just stupidines

11

the law is u can only have 4 lights shinning forward max aka 2 headlights 2 foglights

and yellow is illegal for driving lights… not for foglights.

12

Enough with the hearsay. Read the facts. Section 62. And be sure to read the subsections.

that is correct.

and the can not have fog lights on if not needed is silly… clearly any oem lighting can be turned on at any time leagaly…

Vehicles with right hand drive

  1. Every vehicle that is equipped with a right hand drive shall, unless it is equipped with a mechanical or electrical signal device as described in subsection 142 (6), have prominently displayed on the rear thereof, in bold face letters of not less than 50 millimetres in height and of a colour which is in contrast to that of the vehicle, the words,

“RIGHT HAND DRIVE VEHICLE”.

Interesting…

^^^but that doesn’t matter because all of our cars have functioning turn signals so we don’t need those stupid right hand drive signs, I should know as I own a rhd silvia and researched it, maybe if your car is really old as hell like were taking 1970s lol

Keep your headlights white, and your fogs yellow. Everyone’s happy, amirite?

But it’s a lot cooler to have yellow headlights. Everyone now has those blue xenon headlights. Yellow is the new trend.
