Does anybody know if yellow front signals are legal? I heard somewhere they have to be amber.

Thx

Amber, red and white are the only legal ones but im pretty sure you could get away with yellow, since amber is pretty close.

White front signals are legal. You probably got a ticket for removing the amber reflector that is required.

Well I know white signals are illegal, and you can't show white on the rear of your car, or red on the front, but I figure yellow is pretty close to amber, so maybe I can get away with it. Yellow fog lights are legal right:dunno:

white is illegal becuase it blinds on comming traffic in low light conditions, like the highway

yellow fogs are legal only when it is foggy. Go figure.

I was thinking of taking out the amber lens on my headlights. But is it legal if i take it out and then put in an orange bulb?

Not if it also has the orange reflector built into it. No reflector=ticket

Maybe if you are using HID signal lights :rofl:

White front signals are completely legal. I promise.

Different cops will give you different answers. I've gotten the ok to have red or white signals while others have ticketed me for those. Also different answers from the Justice of the peace I dealt with. Depends who you're dealing with. If you don't want a ticket, definitely not blue or red (same color as emergency vehicles).

The turn bulb HAS to be orange. You can have a clear housing but when you put your blinker on it has to blink orange to be legal. If you have a clear turn signal housing and an orange bulb you still need a yellow reflector on the car somewhere up front.
Now i drove with all clears for a few years and never got pulled over...

(c) the lamps showing to the front shall be located at or near
the front on the same level and as widely spaced laterally
as practicable and when in use shall emit a white or amber
light that is plainly visible from the front in normal

So in the end, white or amber is law.

Thanks for the help guys :)

Did you pay the fine yet? Take it to court with the proper documents and you will win and make the pig look like a dink :)
