You can look up further Cali Vehicle Codes here.
Hope that helps some of you guys out at least with legalities reguarding lights on cars in CA.

That was a very good addtion above to the thread. I know I have talked with people at the Oregon DMV before concerning legel headlight color, and it requires much digging and such to find a mention at all. If I am able to find anything current anywhere, here or cali, I'll post it. So, you CAN have a white fender lamp in cali. Print that out and carry it to show the CHP officer for next time. As has happened to many people I know before, the officer pulling them over and telling them the "color was illegel" was misinformed. I've had that happen before. He as very polite, and having the copy of DMV lighting regulations on hand helped. He said his superiors had misinformed them, and actually thanked me for carrying that in the car and showing it to him. It was rather suprising actually.
