Angry Got a fixing ticket

Darnit! I got a fixing ticket last night. The cop pulled me over cuz i had halogen rear turn signals. YAH YAH, i knew i was gonna get caught for that one day. He also said that he's gonna write me up for the HID's but i lied and told him it was stocked. He said he didnt believe me cuz he knows his benzes....but then i sad "well, i got it with the car so i dunno then..go ahead officer." He came back and gave me the ticket. He only put me down for the rear's. I guess he didnt want to take a chance of looking stupid if the HIDS were really stocked. Thank god he didnt put it on cuz taking it out of my car would be hell!

So i dont have to go through the hassle of this again, I put my front blinkesr and rear blinkers back to orange AND The city and side marker lights back to halogen. Hopefully that would be okay. Im actually gonna get RED BULBS for the rear signals. Anybody have these????

You mentioned that you have HIDs? Did you do a retrofit of some factory xenon (the older model) or do you have some halogen upgrades a.k.a. white bulbs...thanks

I think the 9000K color is what kinda raised a flag at the cops. I think he wouldn't have said anything if they wouldn't have been so purple, maybe you shoudl consider going back to a 5-7K kit, to get more of a stock looking light.

Also you may want to think about "silvervisioning" your bulbs. That way they shine orange, but when off they are silver. costs about 3 bucks to do the entire car.
