hey guys quick question. first, I never speed and i try to be obedient to the rules and regulations of the law. but i do have yellow headlight bulbs and I recently got pulled over by a barrow county police officer for having these yellow headlights. ive had them in my car for two years and have never been harrassed about them, until now. Now here's where the question lies, do you think if i went to the court date that they would drop the charge? or should i pay the 80 dollars and take the points on my license. the law violation he wrote down doesnt seem to specifically state concerning a hue/color of a headlight. here's the violation code:
40-8-22.
(a) Every motor vehicle other than a motorcycle or motor driven cycle shall be equipped with at least two but not more than four headlights, with at least one on each side of the front of the motor vehicle, which headlights shall comply with the requirements and limitations set forth in this article.
(b) Every motorcycle and every motor driven cycle shall be equipped with at least one and not more than two headlights, which shall comply with the requirements and limitations of this article.
(c) Every headlight upon every motor vehicle, including every motorcycle and motor driven cycle, shall be located at a height measured from the center of the headlight of not more than 54 inches nor less than 24 inches, to be measured as set forth in subsection (b) of Code Section 40-8-21.
(d) The headlights required by this Code section shall be maintained in proper working condition and shall not be covered by any type of material, provided that the covering restriction shall not apply to any vehicle on which the original factory headlights were covered.
(e) It shall be unlawful to operate a motor vehicle unless such motor vehicle is equipped with aiming pads on each headlight.
thanks for the help.
