Thinking about buying Solaris bulbs but I'm not sure if I want to go with amber. Thinking about going Ultrabright edition or some LEDs but the reason I'm holding back is because I don't know if it's illegal or not. I don't want another reason to get hassled by the cops, I already drive with front tints and no plates. In my mind, I'm really thinking who cares just do it but I would really like to know if anyone has it on there car and if they have had any experiences by the boys in blue hassling them.

I haven't had any problems with my front LED turn signals.

I've gotten more crap and a ticket for the tint than lights.


Also it only blinks, so its not like its on like the eyebrow.



Duu it! I hate amber.

Illegal on any car made after 1970, but no police officer will ever stop you for the front signal... only the rear. We sell thousands of sets of Xenon white and White LED bulbs and have never had a complaint

Yeh illegal....but I havent heard of anyone getting pulled over solely for that reason. Usually if you have a lot done to your car they will notice that and give you a ticket for it. J levi Ill be picking those up from you this week as well as a bunch of stuff

I have been pulled over plenty of times in my past cars for white blinking front signals.

The OC cops use it as reason to pull you over, then they go to town writting up fix-it tickets.

I wouldn't risk it.
