WTK: laws pertaining to vehicle lights

[nicholas7129]

just do like me an done away with dem ting.....now i dont have to worry bout bein stopped in a road block ......always lookin for either ballast or bulbs which sell in pairs

[altec]

how do they check for lights? I have riced tail lights with red indicators( ah needed those carbs eh). Do they make you put on indicators?

[FullStop]

a motor vehicle shall show two lights in front, one at each side, of sufficient intensity to
indicate the presence of the motor vehicle or trailer from a reasonable distance to
approaching traffic;

But from reading the act, unauthorised lights are defined as lights other than the two headligths and side lamps (indicators).

if the law part is analyzed mathematically according to strict rules of logic, then extra lights, i.e. more than two headlights and sidelamps, are not illegal.

[nareshseep]

so what about retrofit projectors in headlights?

[nicholas7129]

the vehicle did not come with a retrofit kit so obvioulsly it is unauthorised like i said its accordin to d officer .....i got charged for retro fit in my lancer.....and it had halogen bulbs ........i got charged for LEDs in my park lights ..Because the vehicle did not come wit it

[nicholas7129]

I don't see why this is so hard

[Morpheus]

Then they should make all the aftermarket rims illegal too. The veekle eh come so....

I agree with the unauthorised lights reinforcement but it should be better defined. The white LEDS should be allowed but is the muffler bearings that drive all over the place day and night with fogs on. Night time with fogs only. HIDs in their fogs. Blue,red,green LEDs in their headlights. Blue,green,red rear number plate lights. Oh gorm doh talk fuh strobes! CHARGE DEM!!!

We make things bad for ourselves by overdoing EVERYTHING...

All my lights are normel. I eh going through dat sheit nah.....

[Sierra-117]

fact of the matter is, if a pow pow stop u n he in a bad mood or he aint like yuh, then u sure 2 get a ticket.....

[nismo17]

Good news, I went to the higher authorities with my car, the ticket and the law. Spoke to the higher heads and the ticket was recalled!!!! Didn't even have to go to court......IT IS NOT ILLEGAL!!!!!

[Bobby~d]

nice to hear about the outcome

[Morpheus]

Good to know.

[nismo17]

thanx

[zico85]

got one that says you drove with anauthorized light blue indicators.It was white tho,what u all think?

[zico85]

about the ticket that is.

[Morpheus]

^^If the lights have been modified to be on all the time (i.e. not off and blinking only when indicating), then take a ticket regardless of the colour of the light. That is a nonsense mod IMHO.

Very distracting to other drivers in that it is not a distinct on/off, therefore it gets picked up a lot later, if at all!

[zico85]

no no off course not.Its actually a park light but its at the corner of the headlight so thats what the police write.My indicator is actually below the headlight if u know the cedia lancer headlights.

[Morpheus]

^^Well you did say indicator eh .

I got stopped for that once and I told the officer those are white LEDs(in a get with the program voice). And told him the only blue lights I have are INSIDE the car.

He was like "Oh" and I was on my way.

Since my LEDS conked out over time I am back to all regular bulbs (parlklights and ID lights). I ain't have time for that nonsense.

[zico85]

no he write indicator but its not my indicator was d issue
