Ah I see. Well, I'd imagine him driving a Supra got him pulled over and the yellow tint was just an excuse.

Tint on fog lights won't get you in as much if any trouble. BUT I am sure yellow tint on the headlights will. Most states carry laws on what colors can be where on the car.

State of Michigan states the headlight must emit a white light when in use. Smoked headlight covers can be used when headlights are not in use.

So I would think your state is the same, if you drive at night I bet you will be pulled over if you cross paths with the police.

It is, but YMMV. I had yellow tint on my headlights on my 00 V6 and never got any hassle for it. I was pulled over 3 times in that car, including a DUI arrest in which my car was towed; no one ever said anything about it. I also have front tint on my Escape, pulled over twice in that, and no one ever said anything about it.

Perhaps. I hope he never sees this thread, I told him only a Ricer would have yellow tint. You just blew that theory out of the water.

Lol guessing you meant ricer. Look at all the racecars posted above^^ that was the look I was emulating. Had my Cervini's Cobra R hood and Steeda hoodpins, full Maximum Motorsports suspension, Bullitt brakes and 99-01 Cobra amber taillights. It looked pretty trick for a V6.

LOL... I've given him so much grief about this already, outside this forum. I'd be surprised if it's still on there. If it is, I will disown him as a friend.

For many years, people have been removing the amber from turn signals to go clear, and replace halogen bulbs for HID to get a bright white. Now you guys want to remove the manufacturer bright white and add yellow? I don't get it!!!

I just liked the way the Le Mans racers looked with the yellow light. I also don't like doing mods that EVERYone else does.

Where did you guys get your tinting film?

I don't know if I'd keep my car like this but I love the look of the Vorshlag and RTR cars...and it's something fun to mess with while waiting for the snow/salt to be off the roadways.

FWIW, it's apparently legal in Connecticut. I'd check your local DMV websites for anyone concerned.

Did the Oracle Colorshift Halos in my fogs last weekend so I can choose what color to have. Usually run with yellow or white:
