Blue Lights in my CLEAR side markers.
 

Anybody have any thoughts as to the leagality of this, I already have the lights installed, markers will arrive tommorrow. I live in california. I see all these honda crap cars with the blue lights and clear side markers too, but that dont make it legal. Should I just call the Highway Patrol and ask>?

Thanks ~72~Pete

Calling is cheaper than a ticket for impersinatig an officer.
I know thats what it is here...at least technicly. But again, teh hondas all have it here and get away with it.

I bet you can find the regs on a state website somewhere. I know Texas has theirs on the web. Good luck. :)

I had red lights in my front and side markers. I was in Murray,KY(western ky college town)and the cops are D!CKs. I was setting at a light with my blinker on and a cop pulled up across from me. "BUSTED" He pulled put behind me and hit the blue lights. I got a court date out of it and had to miss work on day, but paid no fine. The judge sent an officer out to make sure they had been changed to clear or amber. I chose the clear. I see no problem with them but he's the man. Just a real pain in the a$$. Good luck with yours.

blue is illegal. your allowed anyone color bulb in there, purple, red, green, yellow, but blue is reserved for emergency vehicles and they can ticket you if they want. i got a warning on my old s10 when i had them in the front bumper lights. however seems like cops prefer to pull over ricers and minitruckers 10x more that classics and hot rods. if you usually drive according to laws (ie under speed limit, making complete stops and stop signs etc) then you should be fine. if you like to drive fast then id leave them of as its just an added reason for a cop to pull you over out of the crowd of people driving 80 on the freeway

After Arkansas law enforcement went to blue lights, there was a time when blue dots in your tail lights were interpreted to be illegal.

We had a situation a few years ago where some guy they dubbed "the Blue Light Rapist" impersonated a police vehicle and pulled over some single ladies, one at a time. He was finally caught and convicted. You don't want to be associated with that type of incident, do you?

My first car had blue lenses in the parking lights....the small cone-shaped plastic ones like found on old clearance lights. Anyway, that was when the cops still used the old red, revolving bubble gum machine lights, so it looked cool on my '54 Ford to have the lenses that matched the paint.
