illegal equipment ticket
So, I got a ticket last night for my yellow bulbs in my headlights. Yes, thier not DOT approved but I figured no one would notice. The state trooper did though. He wrote me a ticket for Illegal Equipment. What are the chances of me not having to pay a fine if I swap the bulbs out and bring a picture of my stock bulbs back in my headlight?
This all happened in Chester btw, on Jefferson Davis. The irony was that a white Mustang drove by us with a full HID kit in his headlights and fogs glaring the road up and he did nothing. Just my luck.

Re: illegal equipment ticket
do you drive a honda? and yes if you put OEM parts back on your vehicle, then you would have complied with the ticket and the law, and it will get dropped

Re: illegal equipment ticket
If you do something as blatantly noticeable as yellow headlights, don't you think you should be prepared to pay for a ticket?

Re: illegal equipment ticket
i would go to the courthouse early and try to track down the cop and show him you changed the bulbs. Thats what i did with my exhaust back in the day and it worked out fine. good luck.

Seriously though, if you get pulled over that frequently, I would have at least gone to a set of HIDs with a different color temperature. Anything but pure white really isn't doing anything for nighttime visibility anyway.. If you don't want to change to something that isn't as attention grabbing, you should be prepared to pay ticket after ticket...
