Has anyone ever got defected for having tinted/smoked head lights or tail lights? Was it worth it...
things like that are just asking for the police to search your whole car for defects
Not worth it.. its no no for cops and they defect every tiny thing in your car.
Lub comes handy if you go with tinted lights...
Damn i was also thinking of this.
Wanted to add spi vision or flyeyes tint to my cars headlights.
You can go from this

i dont understand why people even tint front lights. It reduces the shit out of your vision at night and is just asking for a defect
These dont reduce light output all that much.
Spot Light as long as they're not coloured, I 'think' tint on them is ok? [Please don't quote me on this] however headlights are a big no no...
Sounds like cop baiting material
My fogs have yellow vinyl wrap, passed several cops with them on.
Never been pulled over for them.
I am also trying to find the law that says you cant cover or if they are covered they you must be able to see XX% of the reflector.
Were your fogs turned on when you passed them though?
They don't seem to pay particular notice till you turned it on...
Yeah, but it was during that non stop rain we got.
From what i understand foglights/driving lights must be yellow or white.
Also it seems cops dont care about people using foglights during the day or night when clear.
Pretty sure they'll only fine you if they're having a bad day and want to ruin your day, or if you look like you're being a twat and its an excuse to pull you over.
Well if its either of those excuses on a rainy day and they give you a fine, you can contest it and win.
Must be where you are, no chance out this way =|Quote:

in WA, fogs have to be yellow or white

These are illegal, and pretty much are a red flag to a bull for the police to go through your entire car for defects after they defect you for having frosted lights. It's also a major road hazard when you're stuck behind someone with frosted lights. You're basically asking for your car to be rear ended. It really doesn't even look good anyway so I'm not sure what you're trying to gain.
Don't do it.
my mate got defected cuzz he tinted his rear lights
i lmaod
I had my tail lights tinted and got arrested by the good taste police.
funny thing is they do not care about bogans who drive with the tail lights that are faded and all the lights are whiteish with a small amount of color(not talking about the aftermarket crsyal ones)

Cops dont care about things like that, but a small amount of black tint, OH NO.
Unfortunately it is the way it is, they don't care about cracked or faded tail lights, but frosting is illegal. I can see their point though, having driven behind numerous cars with blacked out taillights, it really is dangerous. As I said previously, you're asking for your car to be rear ended because it makes it more difficult than it should be to see that you are actually braking. It doesn't add anything to your car really, it just makes it stand out unnecessarily. There again, I'm older now, and haven't had a fine of my own cause in a number of years.
Even though it is illegal for the brakelights or blinkers to give off white light.
its illegal, iv'e coped a defect before with smoked rear lights.
Not really worth it
my ODC has clear/smoked LED lights.. light the Altezza style/type.Quote:

Aftermarket taillights should be fine although there are a lot of cases where they're not. Your best bet is as long long as they state they meet the appropriate ADRs.... As long as they do, you shouldn't get in trouble, i.e. the aftermarket lights you buy from Super Cheap, Autobahn, Autopro, etc that state they meet the required ADRs. It's the cheap Chinese fleabay shit that's going to get you in trouble more times than not as they wont comply with the appropriate regulations.
Anyway, you don't want a migrant spec shopping trolley.... So... do iiiieet properly and do it once... It's bad enough to have an migrant spec Honda of all the cars in the world given the association to migrants that drive Hondas already in this country. That isn't a racial prejudice either it's just the reality...
You might also be aware or not? that non-ADR/non compliance plated parts will void any insurance that you do have, so don't come crying poor when you run into another car and you're reamed by corporate shysters who may also ask for damages for the car that ran into you, you only got what you deserved.
EDIT: Lol... Chingk... references to Super Cheap products censored :zip: No more migrant spec Hondas K thnx? There is already a bad enough reputation as it is.
