it's technically illegal to modify any part of your car from it's stock form.
My buddy had yellow headlights on his 240SX for a long time and never got any hassle for them. If they wanted to pull you over for it, then they probably could tho. As long as they're not red, blue, or some outrageous color then you should be fine.Originally Posted by Sushi
There is no law on headlight color in Georgia that i can find BUT you cannot legally apply anything on a headlight...that's why i'm going with the 3k HID's.
