WTK:Unauthorized Lights?

[nervewrecker]

What about LEDs in number plate lights? I went to get my car inspected last year and they told me that LED lights in parklights and number plate lights are illegal.. and i wven had my oem amber headlights.. but still... im wondering if to remove my LEDs nw or not.. any info on thia tunerz?

5 years later you bump this thread?

And no, I had LED's in my car and been though many road blocks.

[Morpheus]

Been running them over 6 years. Been thru a few roadblocks. No problem.

Use white. Not red, blue, green etc as I've seen a few idiots do

[DVSTT]

so they wont still ticket u for simply having the LEDS even if they off?

been in many roadblocks/stopped by police lots of times

never been ticketed

So basically you can have them, just keep them off? Referring to those LED light bars here and not the underglow/ rim light nonsense

[Hammy Bolo]

passed thru a road block last night- ppl were being ticketed for having fog lights UNLESS they had a letter from Licencing office authorising them to have their vehicle fitted with such, ppl with led lights etc were also pulled over not sure they got tickets

For new vehicles from the firm that come with fogs, they get a letter from licenae office saying that.

[konartis]

If u read the laws all fog lights are illegal, worthless law tho...

Still makes no sense. A letter makes one more practical or less dangerous than the other? Smh. Waste of time law really...

The law might change with fashion

Cause there is no law for a change of rims unless you have all you lug nuts intact

anyone who gets a ticket just needs to take a copy of such letter with them to court and see how it goes

They have to pay, because it is classified as bumper lights based on what the manufacture says, but the law in trinidad classifies it as a fog light...

I don't think there is a law regarding fog lights but unauthorized lights , can someone confirm this?

[Morpheus]

I think it's unauthorized lights. Anything other than 2 headlights.....

[Advent]

unauthorized lights to front or rear of vehicles= $750

Bumping the thread again. Are the original marker lights on the top of B13 fenders illegal? They came from the factory with green LEDs . I have a 280c with the original blue factory marker lights as well. Do I have to remove them or am I within the law? I didn't see anything in the law with regards to the marker lights....

those are side markers ie pilot lights...you do not need to remove them / put a separate switch to turn them off....

the car was manufactured with it and the car was licensed with it...therefore it is legal..
(before the tuna know it all chime in an say it hadda be removed - the light is not a safety device like say for example a seatbelt / airbag

i am aware that previous cars of yester year that did not have seat belts were now required by law to have them when that law was passed - reason is - this is a safety device - ie life saving device.)

if you get a ticket i suggest you take you ticket - at the court date -
provide proof the vehicle was built with the light from the manufacturer -
then provide proof the vehicle was registered / licensed with that on it.

doing this would provide proof that the recent law does not take into account cars of yester year.

someone said the law is an ass....and some if not most of our laws need dire updating - sadly the persons who makes / amends the laws are to busy creating loop holes in it for themselves to escape.

its time for the police officer to stop the "using his discretion" and start doing the right thing.
but in the same twist the right thing must be listed -"as law" and not be at the discretion of one persons whim or fancy.

if however the car did not come with such a light / device on the fender as issued by the manufacturer - then u just lookin for trouble.

[Sandplant]

Isn't the law on that is that it's illegal to have unauthorised lights to the front and rear of the vehicle? I can't recall them mentioning sides...

my point also, From reading the ACT, my understanding is that hood and running board marker lights is not in breach of the law, and should be legal, has anyone ever had these installed and challenged if ticketed ?
