As far as I know, front facing lights are illegal only if blue or red colored (impersonating an officer). Take it to the judge with proof that your headlights are DOT legal ( I assume they are)

Wasn't there a Lexus that had yellow (not amber) marker lights on the front? And I'm pretty sure the old Infiniti SUV (QX4??, I think) has yellow fogs. Maybe there's some law bout what can be yellow and what can't, but just because they're forward facing isn't the problem.

Im saying that he should look at the ticket, if it says "impersonating officer" on it, he knows why. The box the lights come in should say whether or not they are street legal or for offroad use only. And the fact that they are foward facing is a big deal, lights facing any other direction on your car (besides rear, obviously) can be any color you want them to be. My Integra has yellow fogs that I keep on at all times with my headlights, so I cant imagine yellow being an illegal color. I think the cop was giving you a hard time. If I may ask....do you have a loud exhuast and or bodykit?

Your foglights, turn signals and auxilliary lights may be blatantly yellow but your headlights cannot be. Maybe your chump *** will learn to check laws before you rice out your car. Moron.

Blaming the police when you did something obviously wrong is just gay.

Why not just take them out.. Go to court. Show them it's back to stock, they drop the charge.

......................... THEN PUT THEM THINGS BACK IN!

cause it's ILLEGAL.

Why else?

(poor example, sorry)
Imagine if you owned a business and one of your employees continued to pee on an empty desk in the building. Yeah, it may not HURT anything, but, it would bother other people. You'd bust his ***** a lot too...

Likewise, your yellow headlamps may not HURT anything, but it does bother other people. hence why it's illegal. There was obviously a sort of vote to make them illegal and your government representative voted for them to be illegal. Got a problem, send them a letter...

but, bitching on H-T will do nothing.

dialing whine-one-one and asking for a WAAAAHHMBULANCE!!! someone got some severe food poisoning from their Wahburger and French Cries.. .

Dude all of you guys hating on this thread stop crying and jacking the popo off, plenty of **** on the road that may be illegal just because you heard some **** doesnt mean its illegal so dont go twistin up someone elses panties because you hate yourself.

Yellow lights ARE LEGAL if dot approved, take it to a judge and he will write it off... and they will have to deal with it.
