s for shweet-2k

then why does most cars don't have side-markers?? i gotta say, you've been jipped by a dumbass lawenforcer. my recommendation though, comply with officers or they will give you a harder time, hence good move on allowing to pop the hood if you had nothing to hide so you can be on your way. I hope you would fight this ridiculous ticketttttttt

i got a fix it ticket for something like this about 5 years ago. my understanding was that the bulb needs to be amber, but the lens can be clear.

"(b) Side-mounted turn signal lamps projecting a flashing amber light to either side may be used to supplement the front and rear turn signals. Side-mounted turn signal lamps mounted to the rear of the center of the vehicle may project a flashing red light no part of which shall be visible from the front. "

i think as long as the light is flashing amber is no problem.

i think i just owned the officer. he wrote me up for a section 26100 which reads "No person shall sell or offer for sale for use upon or as part of the equipment of a vehicle, nor shall any person use upon a vehicle, any lighting equipment, safety glazing material, or other device that does not meet the provisions of Section 26104."

then i pulled out the section 24953 which reads "Any turn signal system used to give a signal of intention to turn right or left shall project a flashing white or amber light visible to the front and a flashing red or amber light visible to the rear."

basically owned him. i ended the conversation with "have a nice day officer, ill see you in court".

lets see if he even shows up.

oh yeah, you owned him alright. He's still inconveniencing you. It's really no sweat off his back.

BTW...What does section 26104 refer to?

Good question. Here's the link:

Basically what SOHCmyDOHC described as "another story". Definitely something the OP should read before claiming "OWN"ership.

Ha! Looks like the cops are getting vaguer and vaguer with their tickets. Looks like you have to prove that your lights are DOT approved. That CVC infracton looks like an "umbrella" code covering codes that they are unsure of. I would argue that the cop doesn't know his CVC's.

If you got JDM lights your screwed. No DOT stampings.

Did he get you for your sidemarkers or turn signals?
