Re: blue dots
I have run them for many years, only got pulled over one time not for that....here`s a quick veiw from Calif law.
legal equipment most often cited by the CHP. Loud car stereo. Illegal if heard more than 50 feet from the vehicle (27007 VC). Lack of front and rear DMV-issued license plates (5200 VC). Radar jammers. Radar detectors are legal, but jammers, or any device which interferes with radar signals, are illegal (28150 VC). Illegal... Lowered frame (or any other part) that is lower than the lowest point of the wheel rim (24008 VC). * Air and hydraulic suspension systems that are operated unsafely or with the vehicle lower than allowed (24002, 24008 VC). * Tinting the front side windows and the windshield (except for a narrow band at the top of the windshield). Windows behind the driver's head may be tinted. If rear window is tinted, right-side mirror is required (26708 VC). * Lack of white rear license plate light (24601 VC). It must illuminate the license plate, not project light behind the vehicle. * Missing front and/or rear bumpers (28071 VC). Illegal engine modifications. Most are illegal due to smog (27156 VC). See Air Resources Board web site for more info and list of parts that are legal. Blue and yellow headlights. Headlights must be white - blue and yellow are illegal (24011 VC). Look for the DOT symbol on the bulb and package. * Headlights brighter or higher wattage than those from the factory. You may be able to see better, but the lights are illegal (24011 VC). * Tail lights other than red (24600 VC). * Illegal brake lights. Brake lights on vehicles newer than 1979 must be red (24603 VC). (Vehicles older than 1979 may be red or yellow.) * Lack of rear reflectors. Two red reflectors are required on the rear of cars and trucks (24607 VC). * Incorrect color of turn signal. It must be white or yellow to the front, red or yellow to the rear (24953 VC). Red lights to the front. They are illegal except on emergency vehicles (24003 VC). This is one way to get pulled over very quick! * Tail lights that incorporate a bulb with a red tint or coating. In general, custom tail lights that incorporate a clear outer shell and red inner lens are legal (24011 VC). If they don't incorporate reflectors, they must be added to the vehicle (24607 VC). Tail lights that are too dim, washed out or show yellow, white or other colors (24600 VC). Ugly anyway
