[Bajjani]

OMG STOP RAGING

Could you even see anything at night?

[2003Accord]

[oneSLOWex]

lol i know. But I passed MANY cops before and NEVER had a problem. But whatever I just want to know about how much the tickets gonna be.

Try calling the number on the ticket. I know in TN you can do that within like 24hrs or so and they will tell you how much.

[DriVaH]

gotta love the man.

[Black4DrEK]

5K or 6k.. anything else.. Kill yo self

[oneSLOWex]

5K or 6k.. anything else.. Kill yo self

LOL with colors like he has....it could happen

[DriVaH]

anything done in gwinnett= kill yourself.

[Greddypacked]

Federal Law... any lights on a car that are blue or red are considered illegal if it doesnt apply to a govenrment or medical auto transport vehicle. I dont know why you didnt follow this law it's pretty common to know this even before driving. Some people might have not been ticketed even when a cop is around, but if the cop needs some tickets cashed out and is having a bad day cops will get you for this. Especially when it's late at night and you have very bright blue lights on. Easy ticket. Sorry I dont know how much this ticked will cost you.

[bowdown201]

My buddy got one a while back. I think it was pretty fuckin expensive. like over $500. He changed them out before court and after a while they ended up dropping it but the judge was really reluctant in doing so

Yeah could be one of those where he can put in some regular bulbs and take pics to prove he "fixed the problem" and they will drop it.

[S13_Chody]

shit i learned my lesson!! just put your ol nasty yellow stock ones back in and show the cop! if he is not being a doo doo face he will drop it!

[bowdown201]

Yeah could be one of those where he can put in some regular bulbs and take pics to prove he "fixed the problem" and they will drop it.

Yea the judge and DA all went out to his jeep and had him turn his lights on to show he changed them.

LOL they dont go out and look here if you have a pic. I know someone who photoshopped the window tint off their car once and got away with it :ninja:

[2003Accord]

Yea it was stupid. live and learn. I asked the cop if it was like a 'fix it ticket'. Of course he said no and was 'change them out and talk to the judge and plead nolo'. haha no.

[choiiiiiiiii]

i'm glad you finally got a ticket. i'm tired of seeing your bright ass blue lights blinding myself and everyone else on the road.

[K20Z1]

shouldn't gotten 12k in the first place



ricer.... :)

[Doppelgänger]

Thank fucking God. Damn ricer. I wish cops would start handing out tickets for this shit like candy. ANYONE running more than 6k are fucking retarded. Let me guess... you got 12k because "dat wai people thunk my headlights look cools because colors are cool n stuff". The other thing that makes you a retard is the fact that EVERY cop will tell you to call the number on the back...yet...you still come onto a forum and ask what the fine will be. :facepalm:

[§treet_§peed]

i had 4500k then went to like 6000k i think lol.

[blaknoize]

I dont even know what color 12k is... or 6k. I rock Silverstars bitch

[STRteg]

ive always had 8k in all my cars they arent blue at all they are the white with a small touch of blue and never had any problems ever,and idc if im considered a ricer for this,but im just sayin 12k should have never left the store with you that day

[TSiFTW]

Now go get some 5 or 6k and NEVER run colored bulbs again. There is a guy around here with damn pink HIDs and it is so gay:gay:.

[EG_Ryder]

what are the brightest bulbs you can legally get? thats what i want, my stock pos lights just arent cutting it with so many deer out nowadays

[§treet_§peed]

Technically, you are supposed to have stock bulb not different than what is O.E.M. for your car/truck/bike. The only time this changed really was for cars that came stock with H.I.D. setups. You know, your more higher end cars and such.

[Doppelgänger]

what are the brightest bulbs you can legally get? thats what i want, my stock pos lights just arent cutting it with so many deer out nowadays

Let me tell you this right now.....
HID "K" RATING DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH BRIGHTNESS (LUMENS). Light color has little to do brightness. Different types of light reflect off objects and colors differently. The common myth is that if white light is good, then adding blue is better because it "looks" brighter, but is in fact NOT BRIGHTER. The human eyes works best in the white light that comes from the sun...or somewhere in the 4100k to 5000k "range" that HID bulbs are available in. Traditional halogen bulbs are good for your eyes. If your car's lighting seems dull, buy new headlights and make sure you have proper voltage to your lights. To put things in easy to understand English... your eyes suck at processing blue/purple/violet light. Also, blue light does not cause your eye to dilate like white/yellow/red light does....which is why blue light looks even brighter and more distracting. Also, putting HIDs in reflector housings instantly makes you a ricer...right up there with ill-fitting body kits and F&F graphics.

If you want brighter bulbes, run a slightly higher wattage bulb. Running "cool blue" or Silver Star bulbs are a waste of time. Due to the way they make light "brighter" they shorten the life of the bulb...causing you to spend more money. To get a true increase in light output, either get a projector headlight kit and get 4k to 6k bulbs OR look into "HIR bulbs"...do a Google search for them and you'll see how awesome they are.

***Note
1) EGryder- This was not all directed toward you in a mean way. But more or less to everyone who thinks that question.

2) I don't really apologize for my post a few posts up. I've long since gotten tired of explaining this in nice and easy ways for people to understand. I'm even more frustrated with any moron that advertises/sells HID kits without properly educating people...even if that means losing sales.

[MeFryRice]

I agree with Mike 100%.

Unless you have a projector headlamp (I'm assuming you don't based on the vehicles in your signature), running headlamps in a reflector style housing is a big no-no. :no:

If I was a LEO, I'd be "that" guy everyone hates since I'd give everyone using an HID kit in a reflector housing a citation.

[dvlerin41]

Yea the judge and DA all went out to his jeep and had him turn his lights on to show he changed them.

Yeah, that would be me! Ticket is a MINIMUM of $1100!! No shit, luckily i gave the lady(not sure exactly what she was) a good spill about being a broke college student with no previous tickets or any problems with the law. If i was you I would go to Walmart buy some new headlights, keep the receipt for court, so you can show the judge that you changed them immediately.

Good Luck!

i would love to see the "8k" hid kits you're using, because i had 6000, and there was a small touch of blue. other 8k kits are pretty damn blue.

you sure you got your kelvins right?

[MR2DR]

I can't wait until all the faggots with pink HID's get ticketed too. I see one of those every couple of days.

To be completely honest the 6k has such a small portion of blue you can only see from quite a ways away and my 8k are not blue at all just a small smidge of blue and you gotta be lookin to see it,and yeah lol my kelvins are right

[EL-CANGRI]

i'm glad you finally got a ticket. i'm tired of seeing your bright ass blue lights blinding myself and everyone else on the road.







damn if they were that blue, i dont think the op had 12k i think he probly had navy blue :yes:

[2003Accord]

yea navy blue. nobody knows how much it costs? i put the stock bulbs in.. gonna run by dynamic sound and get some 4300k's i think.

[AnthonyF]

10k is the highest I go. Anything beyond that is pointless.

It's not just the color as to why they gave you a ticket. Your headlights probably glare in every direction blinding other drivers and putting their lives in jeopardy b/c YOU want to look "cool."

Fix your headlights fuck head.

-Ant.

[2003Accord]

i did fix them. :goodjob:

I didn't get them to look 'cool'. I got them so I can see better at night.

[AnthonyF]

i did fix them. :goodjob:

I didn't get them to look 'cool'. I got them so I can see better at night.
Oh really? So you installed HID's in your housing with no modification and they point perfectly on the ground and they don't blind anyone? Yeah..right. :jerkit:

-Ant.

[TSiFTW]

i did fix them. :goodjob:

I didn't get them to look 'cool'. I got them so I can see better at night.

If you wanna see better get 5 0r 6k tops.

[2003Accord]

yea im going to. This was my FIRST set of Hids. I didn't have anybody to tell me that once you go over maybe 8k's the light starts to fade.

But ok. Anybody know how much it costs?:goodjob:

[AnthonyF]

The light doesn't fade. There is just too much color and it doesn't project as well.

-Ant.

[TSiFTW]

Mine are in reflector housings but I didn't just slap them in there. I spent a great deal of time adjusting to get optimal light output and making sure they dont glare. Main reason is you can't get projector housings for my car.

I've seen a few accords with them in the stock lights and they look ok. But I understand now. :cheers:

:eek: Ill trade that person my Civic for that Lexus....its deserves a loving home....so sad

[down_shift]

now I run typical H4 bulbs not HIDs but I have had this film on mine for the last couple years. never pulled over for it and never had it mentioned by a cop when I did.

No problem man, and thanks :goodjob:

[down_shift]

really well. they shine a bit blue but they didn't degrade the output like I expected them to.

[wazzyatl]

Ive had 30000k pink ones, 12000k blue ones, 13000k violet ones and NEVER had any problems with any law... Im in Kennesaw as well, and NEVER have gotten a ticket

[Doppelgänger]

^ God damn ricer shit right there......ricer. Let me guess... you did that because "it looks cool". Moron.

[AdriSciontC]

5K or 6k.. anything else.. Kill yo self

I have 8K and I have no problems... maybe you should /yourself.... just sayin

[OG-Skinny]

If it didn't come factory, you should get a fucking ticket.

UNLESS... You have properly fitted a projector fitted to use HID systems. Even then, the limit I think is 10K

[claybird]

In the state of Georgia, Any aftermarket light now is illegal except for up to 4 yellow fog light.

[1SICKLEX]

12k

He should have broken your headlights...

good, you fucking ricer.

O.C.G.A. § 40-8-90



GEORGIA CODE
Copyright 2009 by The State of Georgia
All rights reserved.
*** Current through the 2009 Regular Session ***
TITLE 40. MOTOR VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC
CHAPTER 8. EQUIPMENT AND INSPECTION OF MOTOR VEHICLES
ARTICLE 1. EQUIPMENT GENERALLY
PART 5. EQUIPMENT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT AND EMERGENCY VEHICLES
O.C.G.A. § 40-8-90 (2009)

§ 40-8-90. Restrictions on use of blue lights on vehicles


(a)(1) Except as provided in this paragraph and subsection (b) of this Code section, it shall be unlawful for any person, firm, or corporation to operate any motor vehicle equipped with or containing a device capable of producing any blue lights, whether flashing, blinking, revolving, or stationary, except:

(A) Motor vehicles owned or leased by any federal, state, or local law enforcement agency;

(B) Motor vehicles with a permit granted by a state agency to bear such lights; or

(C) Antique, hobby, and special interest vehicles, as defined in subsection (a) of Code Section 40-2-77, which may display a blue light or lights of up to one inch in diameter as part of any such vehicle's rear stop lamps, rear turning indicator, rear hazard lamps, and rear reflectors.

(2) Any person who violates paragraph (1) of this subsection shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.

(b) The prohibition contained in subsection (a) of this Code section shall not apply to any elected sheriff who, pursuant to an agreement between the sheriff and the county governing authority, is using his or her personal motor vehicle in a law enforcement activity, provided such vehicle is marked as provided in Code Section 40-8-91.

(c) It shall be unlawful for any person to use any motor vehicle equipped with flashing, blinking, revolving, or stationary blue lights in the commission of a felony, and, upon conviction of a violation of this subsection, the punishment shall be a fine of not less than $1,000.00 or imprisonment of not less than one year, or both.

HISTORY: Ga. L. 1966, p. 208, § 1; Ga. L. 1971, p. 781, § 1; Ga. L. 1972, p. 1092, § 1; Ga. L. 1977, p. 1012, § 1; Ga. L. 1984, p. 1193, § 1; Ga. L. 1985, p. 149, § 40; Ga. L. 1992, p. 1287, § 1; Ga. L. 2005, p. 1026, § 1/SB 178.




I'm not sure if it means that if you commit a felony while using blue lights thats the punishment or if you violate any part of this subsection of code that will be the fine, either way its probably going to be pretty steep. What is the exact code that you violated that the officer wrote on the ticket?

Now go get some 5 or 6k and NEVER run colored bulbs again. There is a guy around here with damn pink HIDs and it is so gay:gay:.


hmmm is it an integra? :ninja: j/w




and to the OP, a buddy of mine got a ticket like your but his wasnt because of HIDs, he had a blueish haze on his head lights (they were like that when he bought the car) it lookd like when you smear windex kinda, something like that. well he got pulled over in the daytime and his ticket was 400. this was in cobb county btw.

[WickedIXMR]

12k
I'm glad you got a ticket.

[WickedIXMR]

He should have broken your headlights...


good, you fucking ricer.


I'm glad you got a ticket.


Lol!

In the state of Georgia, Any aftermarket light now is illegal except for up to 4 yellow fog light.It's a Federal Law. NO HID headlight is legal in the United States unless it came from the factory fitted with them.

[XanRules]

There is no way what so ever you can see "better" with 12k HID's in a reflector housing.
actually, the farther you go above 4300K, the LESS you can see.
And in a fucking halogen reflector housing? Forget it.

Dumbass motherfucker.

[WickedIXMR]

^ Yup the higher the temperature, the less lumens you get.

[speedminded]

actually, the farther you go above 4300K, the LESS you can see.
And in a fucking halogen reflector housing? Forget it.

Dumbass motherfucker.Bingo. A 12k HID puts out about the same lumens as a sealed beam from the 70's.

[XanRules]

but it looks so ill brah
u h8ers just dont understand so get off my nutz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111!!!!11!!one!!!! :lmfao::lmfao::lmfao::lmfao::lmfao:

I LUV H8erZ!!!



herp derp


Seriously, if we gave tickets to every one of you goofy motherfuckers with your pink/blue/purple HIDs, we'd solve the national debt and cure world hunger. It looks like shit, cut it out.
