Ouch, that sucks. Living in CA is the worst for modifying. I'm sick of getting pulled over too so I try to avoid the illegal mods now. It's just not worth it.

it does come in handier though when you need to sell parts; lots of modified cars out here for most popular models

regardless; i've learned my lesson with 'illegal' mods. if a cop can pull you over for a mod, then they'll do so. ( i'm talking mostly about tinted front windows and front license plate; I've never been a fan of blackedout tails).

wtf, why would you want to follow this guy's footsteps? Sometimes I just don't get it, you know you're gonna run into the same trouble why risk it? It's a no brainer and the outcomes are known to be negative but people still take that road...

Sir/Madam, we live in California. Tint, blacked out headlights, no license plate on front, you get pulled over for all types of stuff.
they're painted. i couldnt exactly 'take it off immediately.'

i ordered new lights, and am still waiting for the harnesses. in fact, he saw the new lights in the back of my car.

I'm going to be smoking mine, just not as much. I will be getting some really bright LEDs so they shine through a lot better, that way I don't need to worry about people saying they can't see my ****.

asked the cop about that - he said the law isn't with visibility, but with the fact that the car has to;

1.) have a red reflector
2.) the light has to be visible from 200 feet away in broad daylight.


so he said even with an LED retrofit..no dice.
