625 ILCS 5/12-201 (b) deals with the color of headlights. The law
requires that each vehicle have 2 head lamps, one on each side of the front
of the car, "which satisfy United States Department of Transportation
requirements, showing white lights, including that emitted by high
intensity discharge (HID) lamps, or lights of a yellow or amber tine..."

Re: yellow head lights in illinois (91highryda)
I had them on my EF a few years ago before I sold it, never had a problem. Was even stopped at a random check point on I-90, state police said nothing. Ive got PnP HIDs on my EM1, still nothing. I swear I thought Illinois police could give two ***** till I read this thread.

yellow headlights are legal in IL, you'll win the case man, cops need to read the laws and stop hassling import owners and crack down on all the 4x4's and muscle cars

Re: yellow head lights in illinois (91highryda)
FWIW, it's legal for a city to enact it's own laws regarding the color of headlights & pretty much whatever else they want. If you got stopped in streamwood, & streamwood has a law against yellow headlights, in a nutshell - you're screwed.
The cop could have sent you down a wild goose chase with the IL SOS. If you even hear back from them at all it probably won't be until long after your court date. I'd stop in at a SOS facility and talk to someone there about this. AFAIK IL doesn't have any state laws regarding headlight color.
Personally, I wish the cops would pull over all the domestic SUVs with badly aimed headlights. Every night I drive home down unlit 2-lane roads, every night 9 out of 10 domestic SUVs have their headlights aimed so wrong I can't see a damned thing until they pass - plus about a quarter refuse to switch their brights off. I don't know why the import SUVs are all magically aimed correctly - even HID-equipped import luxocruisers aren't as painful.

Re: yellow head lights in illinois (91highryda)
If you want to get out of the ticket all you have to do is go to court and show proof that you took out the yellow bulbs and put in normal bulbs. Just take a picture of it and bring it to court and the judge will dismiss it immediately. I've done this 2 times already for no license plate on front bumper, and tinted windows. And guess what...I still have no front license plate and tinted windows!!!
