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.
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!
The Real E
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!
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.
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.
shouldn't gotten 12k in the first place
ricer....![]()
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:

i had 4500k then went to like 6000k i think lol.
You know better; next time will be a ban.
I dont even know what color 12k is... or 6k. I rock Silverstars bitch
CHASE ->>> WHAT MATTERS
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
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.
same here! i have the 8k from dynamic sound and never had a problem with the cops at all
yea some are really blue, i guess it depends where you get them from
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.

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.

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.
