the law must be different in salina, ks.... i had many cops beind me while i was driving.. past a few cops going the same direction..been pulled over for speeding and nobody never said anything about my clear lenses

ok i know there not illegal everywere and even if they are im not worried about it im looking for all 4 side markers in clear hopfully the one peice look not clear on top of clear anyone know were i can find those

Make no misstake, they are illegal in your states. Federal law Supersedes State law and this is definetly federal law. Just because you have been pulled over or ticketted for them does not make them legal. It just means that you haven't been pulled over for them or ticketted for them. I wasn't trying to discourage anyone from purchasing them, just letting you know whay we do not sell them. I personaly like them too, but I like my wallet more... WES

heres a video of my tails.. just click it













.

[1LoC10]

these are not clear ones... but what the hell click this one too...lol, also mine

[Longhorn Man]

Wes, I've been tellin ppl here for YEARS that they are against federal law... but no one listens.
Granted... I want a set for my burb... but I am not holding my breath.

[Classic Heartbeat]

Yes Andy, I have always known myself. This is why we tried to run the disclaimer on our website that they were for show and off-road use only. However the Superior Court ruled that manufacturers and resalers could not control what was being done with them once the sale was made and that the disclaimer meant nothing. In otherwords we couldn't control the fact that people install them on their vehicles for highway use. I guess that big brother doesn't think that people should be responcible for their own actions. So we are ticketed and fined if we are caught selling them. Just isn't worth it to me. WES

[Longhorn Man]

I agree with your point of view on that. It's stupid. I guess you should push the blame to the people making them huh?
It sucks that you had to pull them off the shelf, but with the rulings, I don't blame you one bit.

i just got pulled over again for speeding yesterday..still no talk on my clear lenses.....second time i got pulled over for speeding and nothin yet....my cousin is a cop and i asked him and he saidsalina police dont care as long as the bulb is red

[Andy4639]

I have the clear lens with red LED'S and haven't had a problem in the 3 years I have ran them here in SC.

[FRENCHBLUE72]

I got mine from someone....not sure who but I have not been hassled for them..

[corn]

Wes isnt saying you WILL get arrested for them, he is saying HE doesnt want to get fined for selling them. Liquor stores like to sell things too, but dont sell to minors mostly because they dont like to pay fines...

We use to sell them untill we learned from SEMA that the Feds were going to start tracking down the manufacturers and retailers and start fining us. That is when we discontinued them. The problem with the lenses are they do not reflect back red when lit up with another vehicles lights. Red bulbs, or red LEDs do not make the lense reflect back red. That is a Federal law. We use to sell them warning people that they were for off road and show pourposes only and the Feds say that because can not control when they are used, that was not a legitimate disclaimer. I think that big brother shouldn't be making people responcible for other people's actions, but they do. So untill the law changes we will not be selling them. WES

where i am in bc canada the cops told me if i had red or amber bulbs id be good

[MARKDTN]

I work for a body builder. We use clear lens red and amber LED lights, but we add separate reflector stickers on our units. Not nearly as pretty as just the lens, but we do it because we have space to. As with many things in life you can do what you want, but these are illegal because they have no reflectors. This issue will be pushed more as time goes on. Also, ask yourself what happens if there is an accident. A good lawyer may use this to make a rear end collision your fault instead of the one who hit you. Do they look good-yes. Is it worth the risk-no. Perhaps there will be some new technology come out where the reflux in the lens is possible. That would make a lot of people very happy. Bottom line, if it does not say DOT on the lens, it isn't legal.
