Your fine with white(normal) or orange bulbs but anything like green is illegal. Some cops dont care but some will use it as a reason to pull you over.

there 11 bucks for a pair .. you think its worth the hassel.. i never see them so i dont know if ide get away with it..

or you think i should go with the silverstars that look blue but are actally amber

i got a ticket from a cop round here its a 109 dollar ticket (some times court to show that there not installed anymore if its past your first offense)

yeah i changed it 5 minz after that and because they were red he wanted to drop these other charges on me like:
impersonating an officer
illegal lighting
distraction while driving
falure to comply with inspection rules (which must mean my tags are fake he said so that would add on false tags also and another 110 dollars lol)

but he let me go with just falure to abide by inspection rules= $109 :thumbdow:

check out my vendor section, i am trying to gather lighting measurements for different cars so i can offer smoked(tinted) lighting protection. then if you ever have a problem it can come off in 5 minutes.

Im not realy worried about it.. Its jus im tryin to mod my car so its different... theres nothing i can do performance wise to a continental so why not make it look different? I hate driving around in a car that my grandparents should be in... So make it look a little Kidish.. you know?

Actually, no offense, I don't know.

I think you have one up flying under the radar. Regardless of how you're driving, your age is going to make you a target. Why make it "kiddish" when you can fly incognito?

[LSHatch]

I don't think green bulbs are going to make the ride look cool. Well, being that odd colored turn signal bulbs look gay in my opinion. You could put some hyperwhites or blue or something. That would look ok and not stick out as much.

[LilWheezy75]

yea i already silverstar headlights n i jus wanted sumthint o match the green of the car.. but i decided im not going to go through with it.

what cars have a white bulb OEM? It is illegal to have white turn signals. They must be amber. If they are not amber it must have an amber reflector.

Your rears can be either red or amber. No other color is acceptable.

hey man, I have a wrx and I used nightshades on my side marker lenses b/c they were amber and I hated the way they looked on a red car. They are tinted during the day, but they look stock at night. Just a little darker. If you go with that, I recommend getting some clear coat too, b/c that stuff wipes off easily.

[LilWheezy75]

SOmeone told me the best way to do it is to sand... compound , scrub clean.. paint.. bake, clear coat and bake them again.... Did you do all that???

[crashkelly]

Nightshade works great with the clear coat...boostaddict did my MSP's side markers and they look great(especially since the car is black)...he didnt have to do any of that sanding or baking nonsense though. The nightshade and clearcoat looks/holds up good without all that.

......Isn't that what I said? I said white bulb as in normal bulb with orange tint cover and orange bulb as in with clear cover.

no way dude. I just cleaned my lenses with solvent and sprayed a couple coats of nightshadez. then a couple coats of clear and they came out really nice. You definitely don't need to do all that extra work.

[LilWheezy75]

Yea i saw yours they doo look good... Im considering doing it to mine.. i dont know yet
