can i use yellow headlight bulbs??
(the color thats in my fogs or like the Lexus fogs)


i believe the law states that the lighting to the front on the vehicle must be white or amber in color...so wouldnt this be legal??

I believe you can as long as you have an amber reflector in the front somewhere.

here are the statutes that apply...nothing is mentioned of the color yellow

28-931 Lamp Colors
A. Front clearance lamps and those marker lamps and reflectors mounted on the front or on the side near the front of a vehicle shall display or reflect an amber color.

B. Rear clearance lamps and those marker lamps and reflectors mounted on the rear or on the sides near the rear of a vehicle shall display or reflect a red color.

C. All lighting devices and reflectors mounted on the rear of any vehicle shall display or reflect a red color, except that:

1. The stoplight or other signal device may be red, amber or yellow.

2. The light illuminating the license plate or the light emitted by a backup lamp shall be white.


28-938 Spot and Auxiliary Lamps (this is just an FYI)
2. Not more than two fog lamps that are mounted on the front at a height of not less than twelve inches and not more than thirty inches above the level surface on which the vehicle stands and that are aimed so that when the vehicle is not loaded none of the high intensity portion of the light to the left of the center of the vehicle shall project, at a distance of twenty-five feet ahead, higher than a level of four inches below the level of the center of the lamp that is aimed.

28- 947 Special Restrictions on Lamps
A. A person shall direct a lighted lamp or illuminating device on a motor vehicle, other than a head lamp, spot lamp, auxiliary lamp or flashing front direction signal, that projects a beam of light of an intensity greater than three hundred candlepower so that no part of the beam strikes the level of the roadway on which the vehicle stands at a distance of more than seventy-five feet from the vehicle.

B. A person shall not drive or move a vehicle or equipment on a highway with a lamp or device on the vehicle that is capable of displaying a red or red and blue light or lens visible from directly in front of the center of the vehicle. Lights visible from the front of a vehicle shall be amber or white. This section does not apply to an authorized emergency vehicle or a vehicle on which a red or red and blue light or lens visible from the front is expressly authorized or required by this chapter.

if i installed these and i was stopped while driving at night...
would the citation be for equipment violation or a moving violation??

^^equipment violation

i might buy some that are 'DOT approved' from www.jcw.com

^^then you're ok

give or take bought 18 months. no job (saved up like crazy b4 i moved out here) cars are still reg. to my house back in illinois (still own it)

what about noise violations (not exhaust) car stereo'..... how do they determine "to loud" and what is the ticket for?

aslo when does loud music in a house become disturbing the peice?
(after what time?) i know during the day it should be ok to have resonably loud music, but if a complaint is issued the only thing that can be done is ask you to turn it down.........?

After 18 months I believe you've established residency...is the car registered in your name?

It becomes 'disturbing the peace' when neirghbors start complaining...usually you get one warning and the 2nd time you get a citation...3rd time someone is going to jail.

10pm is about the normal time when things should quiet down

good stuff! thanx. no im on the title but its not registered under my name

ive now got some yellow H4s (2500K) in the ride...

do you think the cops are going to bother me??

what do i need to legally own a fully automatic weapon?

a plane ticket to Iraq

Magic 8 Ball says...all signs point to no

you have to purchase a $200 federal tax stamp and go through a criminal history check

if i was arrested for some fellonies (non violent) but convicted only on misdomenors, am i still ok??

you're prolly ok...they cant be violent crimes or crimes against humanity

Question as far as beer in vehicles go?

My roomate and I were wondering the laws with aclohol here in this state.

Can there be an open container inside the vehicle for passengers?

Can Passengers drink inside the vehicle?

Can you have an opened 12 pack with like 10 out of 12 beers in it inside the vehicle (not in trunk)?

IF you own a pickup, can people sit in the backend and drink while driving around, as long as no alcohol is inside the cabin area?

I guess those are a few of the questions we had!

lemme know
thx
-Eric

Chris could answer this better...but heres my imput in regards to alcohol:


no


no


yes, the box can be opened...not the bottles/cans though


no

awesome, kinda what i figured

yeah only reason why i asked about the pickup and sitting in the bed of it and drinking is beacause on sunday i saw 3 people sitting in the back end of a pickup and they had their arms on the rails and all 3 of them had budlights in their hands "IN PLAIN SITE" , my roomate and i were like WTF!! They were sitting there drinking budlights at 2:00pm in plain view. Could clearly see all 3 of them, bud light cans. So thats why i was wondering. They didnt' seem to worried to get caught, maybe they were completlely tanked already?

Good job JT...You're right.

Last week I pulled over 24 vehicles and wrote over 30 citations...w00t

When did the open container laws change? I always heard (well since 1988) that as long as the container was outside the immediate reach of the driver you were okay. Not that I ever tested this, just what I remember hearing. Don't know why you would have to be driving around with open containers in the first place...but oh well. Urban Myth?

One time I told a cop a beer at Filibertos was mine (was an underage friends) so that I wouldn't get a contributing ticket. The guy fessed up a court, got an open container and underage ticket. I got a providing false information to a police officer ticket. I should kept shut.

The last time that law changed was in 2000

4-251

A. It is unlawful for any person to:

2. Possess an open container of liquor within the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle that is located on any public highway in this state.

(I shortened it)

Thats because the next one states:

A.

3. It is lawful to drink Mad Dog 20/20 if you own an 82 Chevette, no High School Diploma, and still reside in your grandmothers "modular home" after 45 years.

Cruising...a LEO (law enforcement officer) has to see your vehicle drive past the same location 3 times within 20 minutes to be considered cruising.

If anyone remembers when Mill Ave was tww lanes both ways they may also remember the LEO and laptop lady in the middle of the road copying license plates...

I dont think you'll ever get pulled over for it because there are no more trendy places to cruise that I know of

when the hov/car pool lane is not during peak hours (6-9am or whatever and in the afternoon) you still can't drive on it, like lets say noon??? it makes my trip out to asu east so much faster....
