ive been messing around with some different appearance mods (12k bulbs w/ blue parking lights) and was interested if anyone has been pulled over for mods. tint/colored bulbs/ etc...

 

I've been pulled over and ticketed for blue LED turn signals! Limo dark tints and disturbing the peace

 

I'm a mod and have been pulled over. Does that count?

 

According to the transportation code, blue or red lights other than certain ones are no no's, that being said everything else should be fair game. Will post more on this later as this has come up before in DFW.

post 15 is what you should look at.

That being said My fender lights are a VERY dim purple led. I have yet to be pulled over for them, HOWEVER, The jew has been pulled over for lighting. I advised him before hand to print out section of the transportation code and keep it on him for douche bag cops. Sure enough he showed the officer that there was nothing against the law with his lighting and the cop let him go. Your mileage may vary. I accept no liability or any other responsibility for this if you were to get in trouble So use my advice at your own risk :P

 

i have 8k HID's
UV bulbs
white turn signals
20% tint
and have never been pulled over for a mod, only for speeding
but every time my radar goes off I never show my turn signals and I turn on my HID's with my parking lights so the UV looks faint..
anyways, no I have not been pulled over for mods.

 

thats very helpful, thank you. sorry for the repost. i think ill still put them on. i like the blue ill enjoy them while i can. southlake cops are rediculous so ill prob switch to 6k all around when that happens.

 

Ive only got pulled over for speeding... oh wait and for disturbing the peace with my friends (one has a SS RX8, the other has a Red 350z) in a parking garage, we were having too much fun around corners...

 

Getting pulled over for the driver mod sucks.

 

was this perhaps at southlake town center?

 

^^^ Yes, my friend has the TurboXS exhaust with their race pipe, ultimately it was his exhaust that caused us to get caught, they wouldnt of even heard us slidding into the corners getting our back ends out (well, only me and my friend's 8... the 350z is a base model with a open-diff LOL )

 

oh yea. we ran into trouble with my 8 and my friends g37 w/ megan racing exhaust haha southlake cops jump on anything! are you there cruising alot??

 

I happen to cruise around there a decent amount of the time when im hanging with my 8 buddy and my 350z buddy. Idk the contrast of the WB, SS and the Red goes really good and makes us all stand out... Plus I like all the looks we get, especially me since my car stands out the most ( red 350z isnt stock though as well)

Most of the time my friend wants to go find all these rich little kids with daddy's car and put them to shame...

 

I've been TOLD that state law requires a license plate "afixed to the front of the vehicle." BUT, never been ticketed. :knockonwood:

 

I actually have talked to cops about the License plate thing. The law states it cannot sit on your dash. A bit of advice to me was put the plate on the window a few inches from the dash with suction cups. That being said I have never been pulled over in my car or any red car I have even owned.

 

ya i think it just depends on the cop. i know several people who keep it in the dash without problems. I keep mine offset and to the right to get the check in the box for being legal but not buckteeth on my grill.
