Finally got nailed for my blue turn signals (ticket)

[Pokey]

Remember the hot rods from the 60's that had the blue dot tail lights??? I had some of those on my 70 Chevy C-10. Looked real nice too, anyways. I re-wired the tail lights and added a license plate light. Well about 4:30am on post, I got pulled over for a tail light being out. I just kicked the side of the truck and it came back on. Then one of the MPs noticed the blue dot and tried to give me a ticket for that. The other guy just told him to forget it and for me to have a nice day.

Looks good man...Here in FL any lights that look like emergency vehicle lights= illegal/off road use only.

Cleared today.

As always the Marker lights were shown to be HID. while my turn signals were and always has been white. ( what the ticket was for) The blue rear plate lights were deemed ok in color. Those are LEDS and have a true white, slightly blue color. I explaned the difference in lighting when you talk about colors and temptures. Higher the temp the closer to white and sometimes blue you get.

Thanks guys

looking through the codes for CA it doesn't say anything about blue or emergency lights. However it does clearly say you cannot have red to the front of a vehicle. It also says that driving, rear,tail,turn,and headlights must be standard colors. Nothing about marker or accent lights.

I've been down this road with my neons and won in court. I've also had to fight the lumi logo on the rear of the truck and won that one also.

it's worth a day to go and piss in someones coffee over it :innocent:

    *  Blue and yellow headlights. Headlights must be white - blue and yellow are illegal (24011 VC). Look for the DOT symbol on the bulb and package.

    * Headlights brighter or higher wattage than those from the factory. You may be able to see better, but the lights are illegal (24011 VC).

    * Tail lights other than red (24600 VC).

    * Illegal brake lights. Brake lights on vehicles newer than 1979 must be red (24603 VC). (Vehicles older than 1979 may be red or yellow.)

    * Tail lights that are too dim, washed out or show yellow, white or other colors (24600 VC).

    * Illegal color of side marker lights. If present, must be yellow in the front and red in the rear (25106, 24003 VC).
