how blue is 7500k???>>>>this blue!

I thought you all might get a kick out of my recent interaction with the local smokies...

the stop scenario: 8:30 pm. i move over into the center lane, being curtious and allowing 2 cars to merge onto the freeway from an on-ramp [law says i have the right of way being already onto the freeway, merging traffic must compensate to conditions]. as i do so i happen to notice a fast car comming up on the left. having my internal radar on i notice the side lights of the opressing officer. immeadiatly checking my speed, i slow from 75 to a conservative 68. the only other car around was in the fast lane as i changed and was at a higher speed than me so he was up ahead. the officer slows and tracks my speed directly on my left. he then moves to the front of me, obliviously to get a better look at my fly ass ride. needing an even better look he then slows and changes to the lane directly to my right and tracks me again. being the sneaky guy that i am, i slow down more and more cuz i'm pretty sure at this point he wannts my ass, as he courted me with his circle dirving manouvers. because of all the slowing down there is now somebody else close to my hind quarters, and me slowing down is now driving the car behind me to be a sort of blocker. but eventualy the slimey sparkletops make there way to the rear and i am thrusted to the shoulder. he actually started out behind, moved out left, in front, then to the right, and back behind me. he wished his car could look so cool...

the conversation [i just got another speeding ticket for 53 in a 35 like 3 weeks ago, so i could care less at this point, and i'm dressed fairly well, just left my office]

P: you know i stopped you for speeding.

V: that's funny, sir, because i wasn't speeding faster than you were.

P: <not amused> you passed the fastet car on the freeway.

V: yes sir, but you passed me, so did i really pass the fastest car on the freeway? and sir, i didn't pass that other car in the fast lane, i merely changed lanes into the center to allow those 2 other cars to merge on from the onramp, which was very nice of me.

P: well your headlights are illegal.

V: <looks back at the freeway traffic> sir, what about that car right there with the blue headlights?

P: that doesn't make yours any less illegal, and yours are way more blue than those are.

V: yes sir, i bought this car like that, all this extra stuff came already in it, i got to be honest, i don't know much about now it works. the guy i bought it from said the headlights were just like BMW's and Mercedes, he actually said the price would be more because they are expensive.

P: hmmm... i'll be right back...

wastes 10 minutes of my time and i swear this bike went by at like 120+

P: OK, regardless of how you bought the car, the lights are illegal. you have to change them out, all of them. [yessir] because you bought it like that i'm marking this whole ticket as correctable and dissmissable. [oh thank you sir] you have to get a new front liscence plate too. [ok, sir] and just because i'm going fast doesn't mean you can. [<laughing> alright, sir] sign here please...

25959 is a serious violation! You should be glad you weren't arrested. :rofl: It's nice that some people share stories like that... now the real question is if you're going to do anything about it. Do you have to go to court?

must be a ticket day. i got a ticket today too :mad: as far as i know, any modification done to your car is illegal. it is only up to how anal the cop who pulls you over is. over here, every modification is i think $25, so the math adds up +$25 +$25 +$25.... so on for each item you know. i've only gotten pulled over once here in boston. tho the Po Po who was Afro :silly: , walked around my car and came back asked me, "where did you get that dash board plate from?... cause my eclipse doesn't come like that" :eek7: :eek7: i laughed. :icon16: :icon16: didn't get a ticket. besides from telling me to screw on my front license plate, he let me go. :biggrin:

so what exactly does 25925 mean?

btw, my light is light purple. :smokin:

Dashboard plate? You didn't just throw the plate up on the dash?
Notice in the picture the code for blue headlights is 25959.

allow me to rephrase, i meant the speedometer plate.

so what's so serious about the blue headlights, get arrested for that??

The fast and the furious made gettin tickets easier, the cops hand them out fast and furiously!
I think the headlights look good! they should be legal.
Those windshield sprayer lights, those are illegal too? Is it in every state or not? I live in georgia so almost nothing is illegal here :P

Cops are funny. When there's real work to be done, they don't do it. When there's people to be harrassed, they're all over it.

Wierd. It seems SOMEHOW the prison system is overflowing.


If you ever get robbed, shot, raped, etc, don't call the cops...call the folks you hang out with. I'm sure they will be right over and able to assist you. :rolleyes:


FWIW, forward facing "blue" lights are illegal in most states. It seems to me, an nice pair of white Silverstars would light up the road better as well.

ahh that sucks man. those headlights are awesome too.

you guys need to hear this story of what happened to me yesterday though...me and my gf were following our other friends, doing about 75. they were driving a celica...well we're on a 55mph road and they found this mustang that wants to play...so they're hauling ass doing well over 90...and i'm back behind because i had a bad feeling...all of a sudden my radar detector states -- Ka - 1. i slam on the brakes and drop it to 65...then Ka - 2...a couple seconds later, Ka - 3. (the numbers indicate how close the cop is)...all of a sudden i see the cop on the opposite side of the road driving. mind you, my friends in the celica. they blew past this cop doing 90+...i look in my rear view mirror...sure enough the cop pops a U-turn. i'm just thinking "oh boy, they got themselves busted..." so we drive about 2 more miles with the cop about 10 car lenghts behind...we get into town and the speed limit is 45...so i drop it to 45...the cop still has his radar on because my detector is going nuts. my friends in the celica pull off into a mcdonalds...i'm thinking "ahh they're definitely caught now" well the cop keeps going straight and follows me....i'm just sittin there like "ummmm....that makes no sense" then suddenly those lights come on and he pulls me over! so i pull over...he gets out...
"you know why i'm stopping you sir?"
"no sir..."
"well i caught you going a bit fast back there...you were doing 66 in a 55"
"are you serious? i didn't even notice. i was just talking to my girlfriend and i must have lost track of speed...sorry about that sir"
"yeah well the speed limit through there is 55. i'm only going to give you a warning. drive safe and have a nice day"
"thank you sir, you too"


now what's wrong with this picture? he didn't even care about the stang and celcica doing 90+... wtf :(

yeah... cause they're puss. they only pick on the ones that's easy to pick on.

Strange, 66 in a 55 seems to still be speeding.


I fail to see where the cop was "puss" or even in the wrong.


Perhaps he thought better of doing 120+ in a 55 to catch a couple of punk ass teenagers.

LOLOL... ya, it's just a fix-it ticket, so i got to replace the hi and low beams, side markers, and turn signals... oh and the back up lights if they see those too... and somehow get a duplicate liscence plate cuz i only have 1 and strap it to the intercooler so i don't have to drill my bumper...



then take that shit right off!!!!

if i get it signed off i can just go to the clerk, no need to appear in the court room.

it's funny cuz in the San Fernando Valley aka 'the valley' you don't get fucked with for shit. i've been doing 100+ down a main street and passed a cop on the other side and he didn't even bother to flip on me. a while ago they issued a mandate stating that cops have to stop wasteting time giving out traffic tickets cuz there is way too many calls and other things going on. but you do have to watch out for the BMW motorcycle cops. they got laser and shit and hide too, but only in the day time.

now in Simi Valley [think Rodney King] the cops are complete assholes with nothing better to do...

Damn cali sucks.
Half the times I drive with my neons on.. yea I have neons, now what. :p

Dont you have a cat elimantor DP, how do you manage to get away with that in CA with emission?

hee hee hee... u just strap on the stock 'smog ready' exhaust that is at my mech's garage and head on down...

damn ricer neon crap...... J/K... really... LMAO

Thats nice.
So are you going to get stock bulbs or Silverstars.
Just sell your bulbs on ebay or dsmtrader, someone will buy them

no the bulbs are going back in the second i get back from getting it signed off, and the plate is comming off. like i said, where i live it ain't shit, just where my mom lives. and the 9005 and 9006 are PIAA Spark Blue's, like $80 per set off ebay, so they aren't going nowhere. as for the replacements, the turn and side markers are cheap. the 9005 and 9006 i am going to 2 different stores so i can return them and be like shizzle i got the wrong one, i needed the 9006 / 9005 whatever and get ma money!

ill take my chance with a ticket...does anyone know where I can puchase these super true blue headlight bulbs?

btw, i wouldn't post my address and driven license number on the net

my credit is horrible and it is all public info as it is... in my job i get people to tell my thier SSN's on a first cold call, so i know that personal info isn't that sacred. and that is an old address anyways....

must be a ticket day


i got a damn ticket today too. i was driving down this road that is always curving. there is a school about half a mile in front of me when i see the cop and i look down at my speedometer and im only going about 40 and thats what the speed limit was because i didnt see any children present. then i get the the stop light in front of the school and there are kids in the cross walk that was impossible to see from where i was when he got me with the radar. but fear not here he comes to ruin the day. he said he clocked me at 44 in a school zone which is 25 so im pretty much fucked.

take lots of pics and take it to court. plead that there need to be yellow caution lights that are triggered when children are present [say, specific times like begining and end of school]. because of the lack of caring on the county's part for the children, you just may get away with it. also mention how devious it is to set up a speed trap using children as the 'bait' without proper warning for cautious drivers. ;)

LOL.. there is always at least one cop outside of my school everyday, if not two. As soon as I turn my car on my radar goes crazy :p
