You can get colored bulbs and easily replace the stock ones at the same time you clear the headlights. I think they are like 5 bucks a pair and you won't have to worry about the cops!

<< when i reved up my engine in a trafic jam going ZERO mph i got a RACING ON THE HIGHWAY ticket. >>



i should hope you fought that and won.. thats a f*cking oxymoron, how can you be racing and not moving at the same time[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] if a cop ever bothers be for revving (not likely since i never do it anyway) ill tell him my engine races sometimes and the only way to stop it is either ignore it and hope it stops on its own, or rev the engine up and it will stop. that was true in my 88 dodge omni, and it would be impossible for the cop to prove that it wasnt true in any car (since obviously it would have stopped when you revved the engine) if he tried to give you a fixing ticket ask how you could possibly prove a rare intermittent problem has been fixed, and/or remind him theres no law against having a high idle speed.
my 88 dodge omni would rev up to 2500 idle instead of 900 and just sit there. sometimes it would stop on its own, but most of the time if i revved to 5000+ it would come all the way back down to 900 and be normal again. just remember this story if a cop ever tries to bother you for revving since he cant prove its not true, even if he still does gove you a ticket, in court it has to be guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, and theres your reasonable doubt [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

turn signals always has to be amber/yellow or whatever you wanna call it. Only exemption is the back turn signal, it can be red or amber/yellow!!! Whateva!! So to be on the safe side since I'm sure you already attract attention with your muffler and spoiler or whatever you have, stick with whatever's legal.
