| Looking to put some new HID look bulbs in my recently acquired '03 Acura 1.7EL, and was wondering at what point they become illegal. Someone told me that they can't be blue hue. Is that correct? Is there a certain coolness of Kelvins...less than 5300K???? Thanks. |

Ya that's correct believe me i've gotten enough tickets for colored lights.
The only lights permitted on the front of vehicles are
WHITE, YELLOW, OR AMBER
Rear Lights- White, Red, Orange
Now I can be wrong so dont believe me, i'm no cop to tell you this, but i've had enough dealing with the po po for lights.
Peace :bigthumbup: |

Here's the low down on headlight bulbs: (as per the Highway Traffic Act)
20(1) Every motor vehicle, other than a motor cycle or moped, shall be equipped with at least 2 headlamps and shall have at least one headlamp mounted on each side of the front of the motor vehicle.
(2) A headlamp on a motor vehicle, other than a snowplow, shall be mounted on the motor vehicle at a height of not more than 1400 millimetres nor less than 600 millimetres measured from the centre of the headlamp to the level of the ground when the motor vehicle stands unloaded.
(3) The lens and bulb of every headlamp on a motor vehicle shall consist of clear, untinted glass.
(4) No person shall attach to or apply to any headlamp or part of a headlamp any material or substance that causes the beam of light emitted from it to be any colour other than what is commonly accepted as being white.
There's also some previous postings about actual HID lights - please scroll through this forum for other member's postings.
