Hey, I got some relatives in Fontana? How's the weather there? (I'd love to ask when it's summer...)

YES! ILLEGAL! California laws say you can't have any other colors on your car that are not white/amber/red in the designated areas. You could just get a fixing ticket... no big. It's just a fixing ticket. Don't worry. There are lotz of peeps who change the colors of their lights... as long as it's not too noticable.

polarg parking likes and polarg turn signals looks blue during the day, but it's actually very bright white at night, maybe you should give that a try.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

Yeah, I've seen them. I'd consider hyperwhites, though! But I dunno about changing the stock bulbs for the headlights except the corners because brighter bulbs on the Civic can blind people... I've heard that some people have gotten flashed at on-coming traffic over their hyperwhites.

Yea, I can see how they are illegal, but how would cops even know? You'd actually have to be parked and not on the road with ur headlights off. I doubt they would give you a ticket even when parked.

Indeed. But I don't think you should have too much problems. The highest I've seen a fixing ticket was for like $17, I think?

There's no way it's illegal... I have three colors on my headlight system... amber for turning,... blue for parking,... and super purple headlight bulbs and I've had it for more than a year,... and haven't gotten pulled over for it. They're noticeable too...

Well... maybe I get lucky,... but I better becareful...

I will definitely remember that one!

The only ones that aren't legal are the blue and purple ones. I hope I don't sound like I'm defending the law, cuz in this case, I wouldn't care, just like you.

$17 Fixing Ticket?!! When I got pulled over for illegal rear turn signals it was a guaranteed ticket cuz the cop was an a$$. They weren't yellow enough for him. They were the stock yellow bulbs, not amber. $60 ticket
