I give them a real reason to pull me over.. leaving a gas station with a ton of white smoke behind me and completley sideways goin down the highway.. They didnt appreciate that too much, nor did i appreciate the wreckless driving ticket
So now i just dont do anything stupid and havent been pulled over in 4 years.

 

Pulled over for blue headlights? Thats crazy, he was definitely needing some overtime. A friend of mine has blue cab and mirror lights and has never even been pulled over for that.

 

I had 10k in my headlights and foglights on my lifted f-150 and never had a problem,guessing the trooper just wanted to be an ***.

 

If you can find all the loop holes in the way the law is wrote, interpreted you have a good chance of beating it in court. My buddy had the same issue with his hydraulic truck around here. Cops kept giving him tickets for ride height and susp. He read the book, went to court beat the tickets..

 

Only time I have been pulled over for lights was when I was young and thought it was cool to put red lights in my 97 Silverado for running lights. Took 24 hrs and two warnings from two different cops before I yanked them out.

Have ran HID's in the stock housing in my past 3 trucks and never been pulled over for them. Get the occasional flash from a little car but not much I can do if your car is inches off the ground and I am in a truck.

 

Yea i swapped my ballast out and put 35w in the lows as a show of good faith but im sure if he stopped me again for the same thing i would get a ticket instead of a written warning. Sux cuz i can see so much better and i drive on a ranch(the king ranch) to get to work with some heavy traffic out there so using the hi beams isnt really an option unless its a weekend. Some cops are just ******** period. He looked young too so he may have been on a high horse that day. Who knows

 

the halogen bulbs look better and dont blind everyone around you. somehow i always end up driving in front of the ******* in a jacked up truck and HID headlights. it blinds the **** out of me from my rear view mirror. i just keep slowing down until they go around.

 

Any non halogen bulb in a non-projector housing is illegal, been that way since introduction. Your county or city may not enforce it, but it doesn't make it legal. Manufacturers like Audi, BMW, Mercedes, etc. that make cars with FACTORY hid headlights are legal because they in a projector housing so the lights don't glare everywhere, and they go through stringent testing to become DOT approved. Just because cops do it, doesn't make it legal. I don't think a cop would take kindly to someone typing on a computer driving down the highway like they do either.

 

Little off subject but I always wondered about that. Texting and driving is bad enough and I always see cops typing away on their laptops while driving

 

yeah but there professionally trained drivers
