ya that sucks and what gets me is that i got them from advanced auto parts right here in charlottesville, they are selling those things in this display right in the store. they should say something about them being illegal i think, but then again drug dealers dont tell you that weed is illegal so i guess it is the same thing

I got pulled over for my turn signals and my runnin side markers with blue LED's in them. Now i have to put ugly amber lights in my turn signals which will kill the look of my projectors, and i have to figure out what im going to do about my side markers. He said that i can have white or amber. I'll see if i can get some good lookin white ones. Of course if the cop knew anything about the color spectrum then he would know that my side markers were white, just so white that they came off as being blue. oh well...by the way, does anyone know the price of a fix-it ticket in california now? Ive heard its still like $15, but then i also heard that its now like over $100. Thanks

[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG] yea thats pretty messed up, im in MD, never heard of people getting pulled for those. As far as i knew you were allowed to have them, but guess i was wrong.
Screw this, There will come a day when people put the beers down, stop racing for a while, just long enough to stand up to them a**es, just to say we aint taking this anymore, we should be allowed to put whatever the hell we want on our property without interference. P.S. F**K the Police.

Do you know which 11 states the color LED's are legal in?...or where did you get your info, so that I could find that out??

I've had the white one's in for like 5 months, and I haven't been pulled over once for them. ...they are connected to my turn signals though.

my bro got pulled over for having green LEDs on his license plate bolt on the front bumper... then got a fix-it ticket for it... $15

So in Cali, I believe the fix-it's are still $15, but I've heard rumors about them going up to $100... guess it depends on the cop.
