Clearing the headlights
 
I just cleared my headlights today by removing the amber reflectors. It was a PITA, but it was worth it. However, I didn't think of the legal consequences :rolleyes:

Has anyone done this mod and had problems with cops? I hear that it is illegal in some states. Also, should I be worried about it for the state inspection?

Thanks

With my 7th gen Civic, I had completely cleared headlights in it for awhile and I didn't have any issues at all. You may want to get an amber bulb for the turn signals though as I think state code says they need to be amber ...

It would help to know vehicle model information.

What about the lights that are clear but blink amber? Would that work? Well, I guess I could take those out come inspection time.

As long the light emitted from the bulb is amber, you should be ok.

I cleared mine before I got inspected and I was fine. DC/DC is right. They have chrome bulbs that blink amber and IMO that looks a lot better than the stock amber ones.

Bulbs have to be amber in signals for SI, other than that you should be good unless a cop feels like being a prick.
