Got a blue headlight ticket...

[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

[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.

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

[AnthonyF]

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.

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?

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.

Ah. Thanks.

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

3 things you should never do for the safety of others and yourself

That last pic, that lexus owner should be dragged and shot on the street.... LOL disgrace!! The Lexus already comes with bi-xenons.. so why the FUCK??? would he change them for greens?

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.

Doesn't matter...you're still scattering light and blinding the shit out of everyone. Good job.

[EG_Ryder]

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.

No problem man, and thanks

[down_shift]

how well can you see at night?

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...

[XanRules]

good, you fucking ricer.

[1SICKLEX]

good, you fucking ricer.

LOL!!!!!!!!

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?

[marcos713]

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

same here! i have the 8k from dynamic sound and never had a problem with the cops at all

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?

yea some are really blue, i guess it depends where you get them from

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.

hmmm is it an integra? 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]

good, you fucking ricer.

I'm glad you got a ticket.

Lol!

[speedminded]

There is no way what so ever you can see "better" with 12k HID's in a reflector housing.

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]

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]

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!!!!

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.
