led turn signals/hazards

sfi3400 · 03-15-2010, 12:32 PM

i just called my local state patrol asking whats legal for your turn signals and hazards, he said in ohio, they can be red,amber,or what ever color the factory tail lights have you can have for your signals up front, so i said i can have red,amber correct? "yes". So, to cover my A$$ i wrote his name down so when i get the red small 4 led's and the big 8 or 12 forget how many led's if i get pulled over i can give them his name...... What is you opinion on red over amber

In the front?

Red or blue could get you busted for impersation a cop

i know here red and blue are not allowed on the outside of the vehicle unless its headlights. Markers, license plate, and corners all have to be white or amber, i have gotten by with blue markers but they were more white..... i would stick with amber

Stick with amber... Not worth getting in trouble with the police over it... Plus, I think it would look kinda gay...

What he ment was the rear could be red, as long as it came that way from the factory. Use your head.

sfi3400 · 03-15-2010, 09:55 PM

no i ment the front hazards and turn signels

The hazards and turn signals are the same bulbs and I would stick with the amber. Anything else and you are just gonna be asking for a cop to pull you over. Stick with the amber, and if you are gonna go LED then get amber LED's.

Silver Star has a TS bulb that look blue but lights amber.

I have them, very happy with them

sfi3400 · 03-16-2010, 01:39 AM

yea i say that it has like a oily rainbow on it. But i really like the clear led amber ones i already have the 4 leds for the corners, i want to try find the amber leds the bigger one i think it has 8 or 12 leds they are clear but glow amber, i would like red but seems in ohio one cop says its legal and the next cop says its not so im sticking with amber.

and reddog im surprised u havent recognize me, i messaged u on youtube about ur set up sniper6289???ring a bell

jayson_waltz · 03-16-2010, 01:41 AM

well he was talking about the tails, you even said it in the first post about what he said. amber in front unless you wanna get in trouble.

sfi3400 · 03-16-2010, 01:44 AM

ne hed said how your tails have that red cover amber cover and clear, that ur signels up front can be either red,amber,clear. i asked him it like 3 times but worded it diff each time just like they do to us. i asked for his name and everything. I was like my signals up front i can have red correct 'Yes" my hazards and turn signals i can have them red for the ones in my head lights 'yes' will i get pulled over for red blinkers up front 'no'

sorry for misunderstanding in my first post

So u have this all on tape? Going to hire a lawyer to fight the system when your ass gets a ticket?
You can get away with white or amber up front others you'll get pulled over with a quickness.
Throw LEDs or something inside to enhnce the enterior then something that I consider dumb and ricey to exterior

sfi3400 · 03-16-2010, 02:01 AM

well i asked the cop 3 different ways and he confirmed red is legal. I said so blue and green is illegal he said yes u can only have red, amber, and clear, ill buy them maybe take it to the state patrol and show them and when they say yes again ill ask to get it in writing or what all the ways are to cover my butt

pimpalero2003 · 03-16-2010, 03:37 AM

Yeah prolly to get you to shut up. So what your going to go there so u could posb have sone cool red lights?
Even if u they say yeah it's fine pretty sure they won't put it in writei g so when you leave and a cop pulls you over well they just said...

You can't have red lights on the front of your car while it's moving, they are reserved for police and other emergency type vehicles. I highly doubt a cop told you that you could, and if he did, then he shouldn't be a cop.

And just an FYI, when you get pulled over and ticket, and possible your car impounded, for impersonating a police officer, the judge isn't going to give two shits about what some 25k a year coffee sipper told you over the phone.

Vella's Alero · 03-16-2010, 12:17 PM

Look man, not to start anything but I am gonna have to just come out and call BS. A cop would not tell you that unless you misunderstood it that way. There is no way they would tell you something that is clearly breaking a law and say that it would be fine. Just stick with the stock lighting colours because they are there for a reason. It is standardised through all car manufacturers what colours they can use and what they can't and it should stay that way.

If this is the same cop that apparently closed off a freeway for your joy riding then he is probably just waiting for you to mess up to get an easy ticket. That is my opinion and advice. If you like it and follow it that's great if not, to each their own.
